Abstract:

When considering the publishing of web search query logs, there is
an important trade-off between the privacy and the usefulness of the
data. This paper introduces a novel approach to anonymize search
query logs by means of microaggregation. It guaranties $k$-anonymity
on the data without having to completely eliminate any record.
