Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing an anonymization of data are disclosed. For example, the method receives a request for anonymizing, wherein the request comprises a bipartite graph for a plurality of associations or a table that encodes the plurality of associations for the bipartite graph. The method places each node in the bipartite graph in a safe group and provides an anonymized graph that encodes the plurality of associations of the bipartite graph, if a safe group for all nodes of the bipartite graph is found.
