The knowledge discovered by data mining may contain sensitive information, which may cause potential threats towards privacy and security. In this paper, we address the problem of better preserving private knowledge by proposing an Item-based Pattern Sanitization to prevent the disclosure of private patterns. We also present two strategies to generate a safe and shareable pattern set for preserving private knowledge in frequent pattern mining.
