Abstract:
A method for double anonymization of data includes: receiving, by a first computing system, a plurality of first data sets, each including a set identifier and personally identifiable information; anonymizing, by the first computing system, each of the first data sets, by hashing the set identifier included in each first data set to obtain a hashed identifier and deidentifying the personally identifiable information; transmitting, by the first computing system, the plurality of anonymized first data sets to a second computing system, wherein the second computing system is distinct and separate from the first computing system; anonymizing, by the second computing system, each of the anonymized first data sets, by hashing the hashed identifier to obtain a double-hashed identifier; and storing, in the second computing system or a third separate and distinct computing system, the plurality of double anonymized first data.
