Abstract

Nearly 90% of today's data have been produced only in the last two years! These data come from a multitude of human activities, including social networking sites, mobile phone applications, electronic medical records systems, e-commerce sites, etc. Integrating and analyzing this wealth and volume of data offers remarkable opportunities in sectors that are of high interest to businesses, governments, and academia. Given that the majority of the data are proprietary and may contain personal or business sensitive information, Privacy-Preserving Record Linkage (PPRL) techniques are essential to perform data integration. In this paper, we review existing work in PPRL, focusing on the computational aspect of the proposed algorithms, which is crucial when dealing with Big data. We propose an analysis tool for the computational aspects of PPRL, and characterize existing PPRL techniques along five dimensions. Based on our analysis, we identify research gaps in current literature and promising directions for future work.
