Overcoming Challenges in Infrastructure, Accessibility, Usability and Technical Adoption in Privacy-Preserving Record Linkage

Music City Center 

Privacy Preserving Record Linkage (PPRL) is an important privacy preserving technology that aids with security and privacy concerns in data integration. It is an integral part of enabling organizations to link data while protecting sensitive information and maintaining public trust. Implementing the tools entails exploring practical applications, addressing challenges, and deploying PPRL tools with the appropriate technical experiences of. Specifically in terms of implementation strategies, need for approvals and technical support during different stages of the project's lifecycle are imperative. Learning the correct configuration, navigating information technology (IT) infrastructure, data security requirements and understanding the technical criteria of creating encrypted cryptographic hashes or cryptographic linkage keys are critical components to the success of a PPRL project. This presentation will highlight PPRL tool adoption across diverse environments which requires, data management strategies and an understanding of IT infrastructures. We will conclude by discussing some key lessons learned in our exploration of deploying PPRL tools.
