How do we ensure that directly identifiable personal data, necessary for communication and organization of research, are separated from research data? It is common for datasets with (sensitive) personal data for research, to be stored in a data management system in pseudonymized form. For major research projects, part of the budget is often reserved for pseudonymization by Trusted Third Parties (ttp’s), but in the case of small-scale research this is not possible. There is less time and money available. What guidelines should be followed in such circumstances? Especially managing key(files) to link directly identifiable personal data and research data requires special care. How to store it? Who has access? Where to store it? And how can you make sure that access to the key file does not depend on the knowledge of one person and will also be available in the future in one form or another? Is there already a software application that has a satis- factory solution for these issues? In the period between February and June 2019, a lcrdm task group investigated if there are practical ways of pseudonymizing data for small-scale research which can also be used - relatively simply - by other institutions. In the absence of such, suggestions could be made about how best to take the first steps to apply pseudonymization in small-scale research. 5 2] What is pseudonymization? In a large number of research disciplines, pseudonymization has been common practice for some time. During research it may be necessary to identify research participants, for 1 There was an overwhel- ming demand for clarity example, in order to verify source data or to monitor persons over a longer period of time. concerning this subject as In such cases research data cannot be anonymized.

In some circles it is also called coding. This way of wor- king does not mean that a whole dataset has been pseudonymized. If the dataset contains 3 As opposed to pseudony- mized data, anonymous free text fields, they may contain potentially directly traceable data. In addition, a combi- data cannot be traced back nation of other (not directly identifiable) variables that are important for the research in to a person in any manner. A different task group is question, may lead to the identification of a person. concerned with the issues of working with anonymous data. The purpose of pseudonymization in thís form is therefore not to obtain an anonymous dataset (or as anonymous as possible3), but to protect the privacy of research participants from the onset, during the collection of data. Moreover, within the context of scientific integrity, the directly identifiable variables must be withheld from the researcher. 3] What is small-scale research? The task group focused on guidelines for pseudonymization during small-scale and quanti- tative research. We define small-scale research as: research with a limited number of parti- cipants and/or restricted financial means. The limitation to quantitative data stems from the fact that pseudonymization of qualitative data (e.g. video and audio files and transcripts thereof) necessitate other measures than simply replacing directly identifiable variables in a data file with a code. Videos can show recognizable images of people or during an interview that is subsequently quoted in the accompanying transcript. 6 4] Approach First, based on our own experience and available literature, the task group has made an inventory of how pseudonymization is applied in small-scale research. A survey has been drawn up to gain a better and more complete picture of current pseudonymization prac- tices in research institutes. It was distributed via different channels, especially among data management support staff. The survey asked how data was pseudonymized and who was responsible; if and what kind of software was used; where key files were stored; who had access and what happened to the key files once the project had been completed; if the in- stitute had a policy for pseudonymization and which problems it faced. Of 32 respondents, including (several) researchers and research support staff, 26 used (a form of) pseudonymi- zation. The most important conclusions that can be drawn from this survey are: 1. Most institutes do not use specific pseudonymization software for pseudonymizing data. Some institutes do have certain tools but these cannot be directly deployed outside their own research, or institute. Currently these tools are therefore not useful on a national level. 2. Most institutes do not have policy concerning pseudonymization or a subfield thereof, for example, dealing with key files. The variety of answers also show that opinions about whether or not something is permitted, differ widely. Appendix 2 contains a more comprehensive description of the survey results. To complement the survey, use cases in the daily practice at institutes of the task group members were examined. Relevant laws and regulations and other related documentation were also studied (see appendix 3). This led to the formulation of a list of basic steps for the pseudonymization of data. 7 5] Basic steps This report is aimed at research support staff, researchers and/or research institutes that have little knowledge of pseudonymization and lack sufficient tooling/infrastructure. Before going through the following basic steps, it is advisable to first check if there already is an existing policy for pseudonymization at the institute where you work. Contact a spe- cialist within your own organization if you have questions about implementation of (one of) the measures described below. Institutional policy always takes precedence over the general basic steps listed here. The task group identifies the following basic steps that researchers and research support staff can follow when pseudonymizing datasets for small-scale research. 1. In the data management plan, describe why and how you’re going to pseudonymize data, how access to the separately stored key file and the dataset is regulated and what happens to the key file and the data when the project is completed. 4 A research data ma- Identify the following categories in your data: nagement system (dms) is 2. a programme which allows • Data necessary for identification, to organize research or to communicate with you to store and manage research participants research data.

Pseudonymize the data as quickly as possible, i.e. immediately when collecting data. If you are sent a dataset with identifiable data by another party, pseudonymize the data immediately after receiving it. 4. Use different pseudonyms for different datasets. This prevents that data from partici- pants who feature in multiple datasets can be linked via the pseudonym. 5. Store the key file separately from the research data.

  • Why Pseudonyms Don't Anonymize
    Why Pseudonyms Don’t Anonymize: A Computational Re-identification Analysis of Genomic Data Privacy Protection Systems Bradley Malin Data Privacy Laboratory, School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213-3890 USA [email protected] Abstract Objectives: In order to supply patient-derived genomic data for medical research purposes, care must be taken to protect the identities of the patients from unwanted intrusions. Recently, several protection techniques that employ the use of trusted third parties (TTPs), and other identity protecting schemas, have been proposed and deployed. The goal of this paper is to analyze the susceptibility of genomic data privacy protection methods based on such methods to known re-identification attacks. Methods: Though advocates of data de-identification and pseudonymization have the best of intentions, oftentimes, these methods fail to preserve anonymity. Methods that rely solely TTPs do not guard against various re-identification methods, which can link apparently anonymous, or pseudonymous, genomic data to named individuals. The re-identification attacks we analyze exploit various types of information that leaked by genomic data that can be used to infer identifying features. These attacks include genotype-phenotype inference attacks, trail attacks which exploit location visit patterns of patients in a distributed environment, and family structure based attacks. Results: While susceptibility varies, we find that each of the protection methods studied is deficient in their protection against re-identification. In certain instances the protection schema itself, such as singly-encrypted pseudonymization, can be leveraged to compromise privacy even further than simple de-identification permits. In order to facilitate the future development of privacy protection methods, we provide a susceptibility comparison of the methods.
