Nowadays, more and more applications use sensitive and personal information. Subsequently, respecting citizens' privacy is becoming extremely important. Dedicated to this issue, this paper suggests a rigorous approach to define anonymization requirements, as well as how to characterize, select and build solutions. Afterwards, a new generic procedure to anonymize and link identities is presented.
