主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, at a server from a client device, a request for anonymous authentication, the client device being operated by an authorized user of an information sharing service; generating, at the server, a set of ciphers, wherein each cipher is based on a selected random value encrypted with one of a set of random tokens and one of a set of public keys of users of the information sharing service; transmitting, to the client device, the set of ciphers; receiving, from the client device, a decrypted value based on the set of ciphers; determining, at the server, that the decrypted value matches the selected random value; transmitting, to the client device, the set of random tokens such that the client device can determine that the server did not identify the authorized user; receiving, from the client device, an anonymized incident report; and correlating the anonymized incident report with open source information and one or more of another anonymized incident report to provide one or more reports to users of the information sharing service.
