Abstract:As part of their services, Würth Phoenix has been helping its customers comply with the General Data Protection Regulations. However, building up compliance requires a considerable amount of investment in terms of both time and money. Given that the regulation does not apply to anonymous data, instead of setting up a compliant data management system of high complexity, companies might opt for data anonymization, thus freeing themselves of any obligatory compliance measures. This is why anonymization has become of interest to Würth Phoenix as a potential pathway for extending their GDPR-related service portfolio. This thesis proposes a flexible architecture for an anonymization module based on the k-anonymity model. The flexibility of the architecture makes it possible to easily replace both the algorithm and the database technology so that the changing requirements of the company and its customers can be promptly addressed. A proof-of-concept implementation serves as a demonstration of how this architecture works in practice. In addition to the theoretical discussion, it highlights practical challenges, limitations and trade-offs to be taken into account in future implementations.
