Abstract
Systems and methods for obscuring data from a data source include devices and processes that may objectively measure the information loss for the data source that is caused by applying a privacy policy, and may apply a policy to the data source based on the measured information loss. The systems and methods may measure the information loss for a large data source by taking a representative sample from the data source and applying the policy to the sample in order to quantify the information loss. The quantified information loss can be iteratively used to change the policy in order to meet utility and/or privacy goals, and the system can subsequently apply the changed policy to the data source.
