Obscuring or otherwise minimizing the release of personality information from potential victims of social engineering attacks effectively interferes with an attacker's personality analysis and reduces the success rate of social engineering attacks. We propose a text transformation method named PerTransGAN using generative adversarial networks (GANs) to protect the personality privacy hidden in text data. Making use of reinforcement learning, we use the output of the discriminator as a reward signal to guide the training of the generator. Moreover, the model extracts text features from the discriminator network as additional semantic guidance signals. And the loss function of the generator adds a penalty item to reduce the weight of words that contribute more to personality information in the real text so as to hide the user's personality privacy. In addition, the semantic and personality modules are designed to calculate the semantic similarity and personality distribution distance between the real text and the generated text as a part of the objective function. Experiments show that the self-attention module and semantic module in the generator improved the content retention of the text by 0.11 compared with the baseline model and obtained the highest BLEU score. In addition, with the addition of penalty item and personality module, compared with the classification accuracy of the original data, the accuracy of the generated text in the personality classifier decreased by 20%. PerTransGAN model preserves users' personality privacy as found in user data by transforming the text and preserving semantic similarity while blocking privacy theft by attackers.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010551 Personality Behavior-response patterns that characterize the individual. Personalities
D012660 Semantics The relationships between symbols and their meanings. Semantic
D016571 Neural Networks, Computer A computer architecture, implementable in either hardware or software, modeled after biological neural networks. Like the biological system in which the processing capability is a result of the interconnection strengths between arrays of nonlinear processing nodes, computerized neural networks, often called perceptrons or multilayer connectionist models, consist of neuron-like units. A homogeneous group of units makes up a layer. These networks are good at pattern recognition. They are adaptive, performing tasks by example, and thus are better for decision-making than are linear learning machines or cluster analysis. They do not require explicit programming.
