Re-identification of individuals in genomic data-sharing beacons via allele inference.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England) - 1 Feb 2019

von Thenen Nora, Ayday Erman, Cicek A Ercument

Abstract excerpt

Motivation: Genomic data-sharing beacons aim to provide a secure, easy to implement and standardized interface for data-sharing by only allowing yes/no queries on the presence of specific alleles in the dataset. Previously deemed secure against re-identification attacks, beacons were shown to be vulnerable despite their stringent policy. Recent studies have demonstrated that it is possible to determine whether...
