Abstract
The techniques provided herein may be used to reversibly anonymize data and to mitigate possible de-anonymization the data by third parties. Specifically, a reverse anonymity data sharing service is used to anonymize personal data by replacing confidential information found in the data with unique identifiers. A reverse anonymity data store is used to store the unique identifiers with the information they replaced such that the anonymization may be reversed if needed. Machine learning models are used to prevent traceback, using publicly available data sources, of the anonymized data to it's the individual who generated the data or whom the data is about.
