In the E-commerce era, recommender system is introduced to share customer experience and comments. At the same time, there is a need for Ecommerce entities to join their recommender system databases to enhance the reliability toward prospective customers and also to maximize the precision of target marketing. However, there will be a privacy disclosure hazard while joining recommender system databases. In order to preserve privacy in merging recommender system databases, we design a novel algorithm based on ElGamal scheme of homomorphic encryption.
Recommender systems use various types of information to help customers find products of personalized interest. To increase the usefulness of recommender systems in certain circumstances, it could be desirable to merge recommender system databases between companies, thus expanding the data pool. This can lead to privacy disclosure hazards that this paper addresses byconstructing an efficient privacy-preserving collaborative recommender system based on the scalar product protocol.
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.
