| Summary: | In the modern world of digitalization, data growth, aggregation and sharing have escalated drastically. Users share huge amounts of data due to the widespread adoption of Internet-of-things (IoT) and cloud-based smart devices. Such data could have confidential attributes about various individuals. Therefore, privacy preservation has become an important concern. Many privacy-preserving data publication models have been proposed to ensure data sharing without privacy disclosures. However, publishing high-dimensional data with sufficient privacy is still a challenging task and very little focus has been given to propound optimal privacy solutions for high-dimensional data. In this paper, we propose a novel privacy-preserving model to anonymize high-dimensional data (prone to various privacy attacks including probabilistic, skewness, and gender-specific). Our proposed model is a combination of <i>l</i>-diversity along with constrained slicing and vertical division. The proposed model can protect the above-stated attacks with minimal information loss. The extensive experiments on real-world datasets advocate the outperformance of our proposed model among its counterparts.
