The course will introduce state-of-the-art methodologies for protecting several data types (e.g., databases, time series, graphs, longitudinal data, and transactional data) via anonymization techniques. Furthermore, the course will provide some insights into attacks on de-anonymization of different data sources in some real-world scenarios.
Learning the theoretical and practical bases of the anonymization of personal data, with a special reference to state-of-the-art techniques for the anonymization of multidimensional data, graphs, time series, longitudinal and transactional data, as well as some legal bases on the protection of personal data.
Regular attendance and active participation in the proposed educational activities, along with individual study, will enable students to understand and explain the classical problems encountered in the context of data protection and privacy. In particular, students will be able to:

The written test, which serves as the admission to the assignments discussion, consists of some closed and open-ended questions related to the topics covered in class. The test allows the evaluation of the student's theoretical knowledge acquired during the course. Once the written test is completed, the schedule for the oral examinations is agreed upon. The written test and the assignments/project discussion take place in the same session.
