Abstract :
In the medical field, we are amassing phenomenal amounts of data. Because of understandable ethical and legal responsibility to maintain the privacy, many techniques of anonymization have been proposed to provide means of data publishing without jeopardizing privacy. The strictness of the techniques is putting in question the utility of the health data after severe anonymization.
