information security de-identification Techniques designed to make the risk of identifying a particular individual in a dataset negligible, whilst retaining the re-usability of the dataset. The purpose is to protect the privacy of the individual and comply with legislation, whilst enabling data sharing. Methods include removing direct and indirect identifiers such as names, addresses, social insurance numbers, or dates of birth, or using obfuscation methods such as encryption, hashing, generalisation, pseudonymisation, and perturbation. https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5214-4466 https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7702-4495 https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2687-1982
