SURVEY ON MINING ASSOCIATION RULES SECURELY IN HORIZONTALLY DISTRIBUTED DATABASES

Abstract: Database has become a very important part in today's world. Database is a system for storing and taking care of data. It can store large data items from various areas and therefore sometimes become difficult to find right information. Thus, Data mining is used to retrieve and view necessary information with less effort. Sometimes, distributed databases are shared among various servers where insecurity occurs due to data leakage. The main reason behind this is trusted third party and to avoid this, we have to propose a protocol which will securely perform its work without involvement of any other party. Our protocol also depends on Fast Distributed Mining (FDM) algorithm.

Keywords: distributed databases, association rules, item-sets, FDM.
