TL;DR: A framework which relies on the Map/Reduce paradigm in order to distribute computations among underutilized commodity hardware resources uniformly, without imposing an extra overhead on the existing infrastructure is presented.

TL;DR: This work proposes Multi-Sampling Transitive Closure for Encrypted Fields (MS-TCEF), a novel privacy preserving blocking technique based on the use of reference sets that effectively prunes records based on redundant assignments to blocks, providing better fault-tolerance and maintaining result quality while scaling linearly with respect to the dataset size.

TL;DR: This paper introduces the Sorted Neighborhood for Encrypted Fields algorithm and combines it with a secure multidimensional privacy preserving blocking method, which is applicable to all types of data fields and manages to significantly boost the Privacy Preserving Record Linkage process without sacrificing matching accuracy.

TL;DR: This chapter will attempt to present the state of the art of the methods proposed to address the privacy preserving record linkage problem and provide a taxonomy of these techniques based on their core characteristics.
