Upon receipt of measured contextual data from mobile platforms, the server distributes information, such as the raw measured contextual data or an analysis of the measured contextual data, to appropriate requesting parties in a secure manner. The mobile platforms receive a plurality of measurement requests from a remote server, where the plurality of measurement requests are based on crowdsourcing queries from a plurality of parties.
