Abstract

A computer-implemented system and method for automatically identifying attributes for anonymization is provided. A dataset of attributes is accessed. Each attribute in the dataset is associated with a plurality of values. The values of the dataset are encrypted and the attributes are processed by assigning a sensitivity level to each of the attributes. One or more of the attributes are selected from the dataset for anonymization based on the assigned sensitivity levels.
