Today, modern healthcare systems rely on advanced computational technologies, including cloud-based systems, to gather and examine personal health data on a large scale. The use of advanced cloud services technologies, such as software as a service, application as a service, is challenging for end-users of cloud systems to protect sensitive data in their health applications. According to the importance of publishing data in the cloud, the information should be recorded and handled somehow so that any individuals' identity remains hidden. Therefore, one of the critical privacy challenges is protecting the quality of published data and privacy-preserving on the healthcare cloud simultaneously. The K-anonymity technology is one of the prevalent methods used for privacy-preserving. In this article, we suggest a novel approach based on the clustering process using the K-means++ method to achieve an optimal k-anonymity algorithm. Also, we use the normal distribution function to delete data that is less frequent, which can be improved the quality of anonymized data. Extensive experiments show the proposed method has been able to reduce information loss 1.5 times and execution time 3.5 times compared to AKA and GCCG algorithms. Also, it is highly scalable than others.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
