Resisting Structural Re-identification in Anonymized Social Networks

Summary: Quantifies privacy risks of three attack classes on anonymized networks, risk varies with structure and size. Proposes a model-based anonymization of aggregate structure, sampling to yield anonymity while preserving estimates of network measures. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
