Medical Privacy-preserving Service Recommendation

With the rapid development of the mobile Internet and the increasing popularity of smart terminals, various mobile social applications are emerging. Medical data has become a valuable data asset and is being continuously explored and utilized, which has greatly promoted the improvement of the medical service level. However, publishing and using user data makes the user vulnerable to reasoning attacks. Due to the special nature of the medical field, medical data not only carries the health status of patients and medical process information but also involves individual sensitive information of a large number of patients. Allowing users to fully enjoy the advantages brought by social networks while ensuring security is an important issue that needs to be solved urgently in the era of big data. In this paper, we first provide an overview of social network data privacy risks and various types of attacks. Aiming at the privacy leakage of weighted social networks, we propose a privacy protection recommendation algorithm based on differential privacy. The algorithm utilizes the change of edge weight grouping, which greatly reduces the amount of calculation and satisfies the user’s rapid response. It minimizes a privacy leak of user private data under data availability while supporting personalized rankings. Compared to the most advanced methods, this method protects users from reasoning attacks and reduces the distortion of ranking results caused by data confusion to ensure the accuracy of recommendations. Experiments on real-world datasets show that our framework can achieve more effective and lasting protection for user-sensitive data.
