Privacy Metrics

Privacy metrics are tools used to measure how well personal information is protected in a system. They help evaluate whether data is sufficiently anonymized or secured against potential breaches. For example, metrics can indicate how much an individual's identity can be inferred from shared data or how resistant the data is to re-identification attempts. Essentially, privacy metrics provide a quantitative way to assess and compare the effectiveness of privacy-preserving methods, ensuring that personal details remain confidential while enabling useful data analysis.
