Abstract: Privacy preserving data mining (PPDM) is a new direction in the area of data mining, where privacy preserving techniques have been applied to maintain the data privacy. Example through the process of data mining the sensitive data of an individual can be inferred as well as personal information and patterns from non-sensitive data. PPDM (Rajesh and Selvakumar, 2014) based on enumeration and concatenation of attributes using k-anonymity where, the original data is combined using only two attributes to show encrypted one quasi-identifier. So, we proposed a new approach called hiding personalised anonymity for enumerating and concatenating of attributes using PPDM for combination of three attributes to show encrypted one quasi-identifier. We can reconstruct the attributes using encrypted attribute. In this work, we proposed PPDM for combination of three attributes and two level encrypting methods in order to protect the more secure personal information for avoiding sensitive issues using unlimited records.
