Mainzelliste SecureEpiLinker (MainSEL): privacy-preserving record linkage using secure multi-party computation.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

Record Linkage has versatile applications in real-world data analysis contexts, where several datasets need to be linked on the record level in the absence of any exact identifier connecting related records. An example are medical databases of patients, spread across institutions, that have to be linked on personally identifiable entries like name, date of birth or ZIP code. At the same time, privacy laws may prohibit the exchange of this personally identifiable information (PII) across institutional boundaries, ruling out the outsourcing of the record linkage task to a trusted third party. We propose to employ privacy-preserving record linkage (PPRL) techniques that prevent, to various degrees, the leakage of PII while still allowing for the linkage of related records.<
