Publishing data for analysis from a micro data table containing sensitive attributes, while maintaining individual privacy, is a problem of increasing significance today. The k-anonymity model was proposed for privacy preserving data publication. While focusing on identity disclosure, k-anonymity model fails to protect attribute disclosure to some extent. Many efforts are made to enhance the k-anonymity model recently. In this paper, we propose two new privacy protectionmodels called (p, )-sensitive k-anonymity and (p+, )-sensitive k-anonymity, respectively. Different from previous the p-sensitive k-anonymity model, these new introduced models allow us to release a lot more information without compromising privacy. Moreover, we prove that the (p, )-sensitive and (p+, )-sensitive k-anonymity problems are NP-hard. We also include testing and heuristic generating algorithms to generate desired micro data table. Experimental results show that our introduced model could significantly reduce the privacy breach.
