A Privacy Preservation Model for URL Query Strings Based of Local Links Based on Temporary Tables

The URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a unique identifier for locating a resource online. It generally includes a protocol (e.g., HTTP or HTTPS), a subdomain (e.g., WWW), a domain name, a path or webpage, and parameters in the form of URL query strings (HTTP.GET). The parameters proposed to identify the content of the destination webpage, e.g., the user prole, the user activities, or the details of the specified object. Thus, the destination webpage can pose privacy concerns when made publicly available. To rid these concerns in the local link of websites, a new privacy preservation model is proposed in this work. It is based on a temporary table. Aside from addressing privacy violation issues, a significant aim of the proposed models is to maintain the data utility as much as possible. Furthermore, the proposed model is evaluated by using extensive experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed model is an effective privacy preservation model that can be used to address privacy violation issues in URL query strings.
