An efficient method for privacy protection in big data analytics using oppositional fruit fly algorithm

Abstract

This work employs anonymization techniques to safeguard privacy. Data plays a vital role in corporate decision-making in the current information-centric landscape. Various sectors, like banking and healthcare, gather confidential information on a daily basis. This information is disseminated by multiple sources through numerous methods. Securing sensitive data is of paramount importance for any data mining application. This study safeguarded confidential information using an anonymization technique. Several machine learning methodologies have a deficiency in accuracy. The study seeks to generate superior and more precise results compared to alternative methodologies. For large datasets, numerous solutions exhibit increased time complexity and memory use. For huge datasets, numerous solutions require more time and memory. The enhanced fuzzy C-means (FCM) algorithm surpasses existing approaches in terms of both accuracy and information preservation. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of data anonymization utilizing the oppositional fruit fly approach, a technique that enhances privacy. The clustering method being presented utilizes an enhanced version of the FCM algorithm. The secrecy of the recommended oppositional fruit fly algorithm is effective. The comparison demonstrated that the proposed research enhanced both accuracy and privacy in comparison to two existing methods. The existing strategy outperforms data anonymization-based privacy preservation by 82.17%, while the suggested method surpasses it by 94.17%.
