Particularly, it is essential to protect personal attribute information. Although various differentially private methods based on randomized response have been proposed, there is a lack of studies on the mechanism for sharing multi-attribute data. The existing randomized response for this purpose uses the Kronecker product to perturb each attribute information in turn according to the respective privacy level but achieves only a weak privacy level for the entire dataset. Therefore, we first describe a privacy-optimized randomized response that guarantees the strongest privacy in sharing multi-attribute data. Thereafter, we present an efficient heuristic algorithm for constructing a near-optimal mechanism. The time complexity of our algorithm is O(k2), where k is the number of attributes. The experimental results demonstrate the utility of our methods., With the increasing amount of data in society, privacy concerns in data sharing have become widely recognized.
