Abstract: In recent years, data mining is a popular analysis tool to extract knowledge from collection of large amount of data. One of the great challenges of data mining is finding hidden patterns without revealing sensitive information. Privacy preservation data mining (PPDM) is answer to such challenges. It is a major research area for protecting sensitive data or knowledge while data mining techniques can still be applied efficiently. Association rule hiding is one of the techniques of PPDM to protect the association rules generated by association rule mining. In this paper, we provide a survey of association rule hiding methods for privacy preservation. Various algorithms have been designed for it in recent years. In this paper, we summarize them and survey current existing techniques for association rule hiding.
