Summary: | In this paper, we propose a novel
K
+
-isomorphism method to achieve
K
-anonymization state among subgraphs or detected communities in a given social network. Our proposed
K
+
-isomorphism method firstly partitions the subgraphs we have detected into some similar-subgraph clusters followed by graph modification conducted in every cluster. In this way, it is feasible to publish preserved structures of communities or subgraphs and every preserved structure actually represents a cluster of at least
K
subgraphs or communities which are isomorphic to each other. The contributions of this paper are listed as follows: On the one hand, we improve a maximum common subgraph detection algorithm, MPD
-
V, which is a core technique for graph similarity detection involved in partition phase of our proposed
K
+
-isomorphism method; on the other hand, with minor adjustment, we utilize some current techniques as an innovative combination to finish the partition and modification of similar-community cluster in
K
+
-isomorphism method. The experiments have shown that the improved MPD
-
V method has much better efficiency to search larger common subgraphs with acceptable performance compared with its prototype and other techniques. Moreover, our proposed
K
+
-isomorphism method can achieve the
K
-isomorphism state with less modification of original network structure, or lower anonymization cost compared to the current
K
-isomorphism method. |
