Abstract

System(s) and method(s) to provide privacy measurement and privacy quantification of sensor data are disclosed. The sensor data is received from a sensor. The private content associated with the sensor data is used to calculate a privacy measuring factor by using entropy based information theoretic model. A compensation value with respect to distribution dissimilarity is determined. The compensation value compensates a statistical deviation in the privacy measuring factor. The compensation value and the privacy measuring factor are used to determine a privacy quantification factor. The privacy quantification factor is scaled with respect to a predefined finite scale to obtain at least one scaled privacy quantification factor to provide quantification of privacy of the sensor data.
