Similarity measurement based on Min-Hash for Preserving Privacy

Because of the importance of the information, encryption algorithms are heavily used. Raw data is encrypted and secure, but problems arise when the key for decryption is exposed. In particular, large-scale Internet sites such as Facebook and Amazon suffer serious damage when user data is exposed. Recently, research into a new fourth-generation encryption technology that can protect user-related data without the use of a key required for encryption is attracting attention. Also, data clustering technology using encryption is attracting attention. In this paper, we try to reduce key exposure by using homomorphic encryption. In addition, we want to maintain privacy through similarity measurement. Additionally, holistic similarity measurements are time-consuming and expensive as the data size and scope increases. Therefore, Min-Hash has been studied to efficiently estimate the similarity between two signatures Methods of measuring similarity that have been studied in the past are time-consuming and expensive as the size and area of data increases. However, Min-Hash allowed us to efficiently infer the similarity between the two sets. Min-Hash is widely used for anti-plagiarism, graph and image analysis, and genetic analysis. Therefore, this paper reports privacy using homomorphic encryption and presents a model for efficient similarity measurement using Min-Hash.
