A Python library to check the level of anonymity of a dataset

pyCANON is a Python library which allows the user to know the anonymity level of a dataset based on a set of quasi-identifiers (QI), and a set of sensitive attributes. To do so, it provides a set of functions to compute the anonymity level of a dataset by means of the following techniques:

• k-anonymity.

• (\(\alpha\),k)-anonymity.

• \(\ell\)-diversity.

• Entropy \(\ell\)-diversity.

• Recursive (c, \(\ell\))-diversity.

• t-closeness.

• Basic \(\beta\)-likeness.

• Enhanced \(\beta\)-likeness.

• \(\delta\)-disclosure privacy.
