ARX is a comprehensive open source data anonymization tool that has been designed from the ground up to provide high scalability and ease of use. It supports risk-based anonymization, methods for analyzing data utility and re-identification risks, as well as syntactic privacy criteria, such as k-anonymity, l-diversity, t-closeness or δ-presence

ARX - Powerful Data Anonymization

ARX is a comprehensive open source software for de-identifying sensitive personal data. It has been designed from the ground up to provide high scalability, ease of use and a tight integration of the many different aspects relevant to data anonymization. Its highlights include:

• Risk-based anonymization using different statistical models
• Syntactic privacy models, such as k-anonymity, ℓ-diversity, t-closeness and δ-presence
• Semantic privacy models, such as (ɛ, δ)-differential privacy
• Data transformation with generalization, suppression, microaggregation and top/bottom coding as well as global and local recoding
• Methods for analyzing data utility
• Methods for analyzing re-identification risks

The software is able to handle very large datasets on commodity hardware and features an intuitive cross-platform graphical user interface. You can find further information on our website.
