This page provides an overview over related anonymization software.
UTD Anonymization Toolbox
- Description: “In an effort to promote our research in the area of privacy preserving data analysis, at UT Dallas Data Security and Privacy Lab, we compiled our implementation of various anonymization methods into a toolbox for public use by researchers. The algorithms can either be applied directly to a dataset or can be used as library functions inside other applications. The toolbox currently contains 6 different anonymization methods over 3 different privacy definitions: Datafly, Mondrian Multidimensional k-Anonymity, Incognito, Incognito with l-diversity, Incognito with t-closeness, Anatomy.” (Source: Website)

TIAMAT
- “[TIAMAT is] a tool for analysis of anonymization techniques which allows data publishers to assess the accuracy and overhead of existing anonymization techniques. The tool performs interactive, head-to-head comparison of anonymization techniques, as well as QID change-impact analysis.” (Source: Scientific Paper)
- Non-commercial
SECRETA
- Description: “SECRETA is a system for evaluating and comparing anonymization algorithms for relational, transaction, and R-T (relational-transaction) datasets. It integrates 9 popular anonymization algorithms for relational and transaction datasets as well as 3 bounding methods for combining these algorithms, under a common, benchmark-oriented framework.” (Source: Website)
