A practical approach to achieve private medical record linkage in light of public resources. [PDF]
J Am Med Inform Assoc, 2013 Integration of patients' records across resources enhances analytics. To address privacy concerns, emerging strategies such as Bloom filter encodings (BFEs), enable integration while obscuring identifiers. However, recent investigations demonstrate BFEs are, in theory, vulnerable to cryptanalysis when encoded identifiers are randomly selected from a ...
