Abstract
A similarity measure system selects a first value and a first context related to the first value, divides the first value into a first set of substrings in an order preserving way, and processes each of these substrings through an obfuscation function to produce a first set of obfuscated substrings. The system selects a second value and a second context related to the second value, and processes the second value to produce a second set of obfuscated substrings. The system calculates a context similarity measure for the first context and the second context. The system determines a value similarity measure from the first and second set of order preserved obfuscated substrings. The system determines a closeness degree between the first value and the second value and a closeness degree based on the context similarity measure.
