Abstract
Introduction: Medical documentation must be protected against damage or loss, in compliance with its integrity and credibility and the opportunity to a permanent access by the authorized staff and, finally, protected against the access of unauthorized persons. Anonymization is one of the methods to safeguard the data against the disclosure.Aim of the study: The study aims at the analysis of methods of anonymization, the analysis of methods of the protection of anonymized data and the study of a new security type of privacy enabling to control sensitive data by the entity which the data concerns.Material and methods: The analytical and algebraic methods were used.Results: The study ought to deliver the materials supporting the choice and analysis of the ways of the anonymization of medical data, and develop a new privacy protection solution enabling the control of sensitive data by entities whom this data concerns.Conclusions: In the paper, the analysis of solutions of data anonymizing used for medical data privacy protection was con-ducted. The methods, such as k-Anonymity, (X,y)- Anonymity, (a,k)- Anonymity, (k,e)-Anonymity, (X,y)-Privacy, LKC-Privacy, l-Diversity, (X,y)-Linkability, t-Closeness, Confidence Bounding and Personalized Privacy were described, explained and analyzed. The analysis of solutions to control sensitive data by their owners was also conducted. Apart from the existing methods of the anonymization, the analysis of methods of the anonimized data protection was conducted, in particular the methods of: d-Presence, e-Differential Privacy, (d,g)-Privacy, (a,b)-Distributing Privacy and protections against (c,t)-Isolation were analyzed. The author introduced a new solution of the controlled protection of privacy. The solution is based on marking a protected field and multi-key encryption of the sensitive value. The suggested way of fields marking is in accordance to the XML standard. For the encryption (n,p) different key cipher was selected. To decipher the content the p keys of n is used. The proposed solution enables to apply brand new methods for the control of privacy of disclosing sensitive data.
