DYNAMIC PSEUDONYMIZATION METHOD FOR USER DATA PROFILING NETWORKS AND USER DATA PROFILING NETWORK IMPLEMENTING THE METHOD

摘要

A users' data profiling network implementing a method of dynamic pseudonymization of users for ensuring user privacy, including: receiving at a data node new input data related to a user along with an associated new user pseudonym and an old user pseudonym; in the data node, finding user data record, corresponding to the received new input data, having stored therein a dynamic input user pseudonym equal to the old user pseudonym received together with the new input data or to one user pseudonym; temporarily storing, in the found user data record, the new input data; setting the dynamic input user pseudonym stored in the user data record equal to the last received new user pseudonym associated with the received input data related to the user; computing and storing an output user data profile in the user data record, and then erasing accumulated new input data from the user data record.
