Privacy is becoming an increasingly important issue in data mining, particularly in security and counter-terrorism-related
applications where the data is often sensitive. This paper considers the problem of mining privacy sensitive distributed multi-party
data. It specifically considers the problem of computing statistical aggregates like the correlation matrix from privacy sensitive
data where the program for computing the aggregates is not trusted by the owner(s) of the data. It presents a brief overview
of a random projection-based technique to compute the correlation matrix from a single third-party data site and also multiple
homogeneous sites.
