Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to systems and methods for enabling the matching of third party data with access providers' subscriber data in a privacy compliant manner, and then connecting an internet user to that third party data for use by marketers, content providers, or other interested parties in a manner that protects consumer privacy at all times. In one embodiment, an access provider such as an ISP sends its subscriber data to a double blind processor that generates an encrypted key for each subscriber. The key is then used to find matching consumer data, for example, consumer segments that represent previously collected or modeled consumer attitudinal, habit, or financial data. The key may be forwarded to a real time marketing bureau, which may use the matched data in subsequent real-time or substantially real-time operations to provide consumer or business data to advertisers, content providers, and other interested parties.

A Double Blinded Privacy-Safe Distributed Data Mining Protocol is disclosed, among an aggregator, a data consumer entity having privacy-sensitive information, and data source entities having privacy-sensitive information. The aggregator does not have access to the privacy-sensitive information at either the data consumer entity or the data source entities. The aggregator formulates a query without using privacy-sensitive information, and sends the query to the data consumer entity. The data consumer entity generates a list of specific instances that meet the conditions of the query and sends the list, encrypted, to the data source entities either directly or through the aggregator. The data source entities match the list against transactional data, de-identify the matched results, and send them to the aggregator. The aggregator combines results from data source entities and sends the combined result to the data consumer entity. This allows for privacy-safe data mining where both the data consumer entity and data source entities have privacy-sensitive information not available for the aggregator to see or use.

A system and associated protocols for communication between two entities across a computer network operate such that the identities of the two entities remain concealed from each other, while ensuring that no third party is able to trace the existence of a conversation between them. The two entities correspond to each other through pseudonyms. The protocols are designed with an object to distribute trust so that an identity is not revealed by the compromise of any one agent involved in the execution of the protocol. No one agent can establish a correlation between a pseudonym and a physical address.

A system and process performed by the system for identifying and tracking perpetrators of any of various types of crimes, including bullying, child pornography, sexual assault and rape, in reports which are anonymously reported to the system. The perpetrators can be of various categories, such as formally convicted, and / or formally charged and not convicted, and / or never been charged or not yet been caught, and therefore are without prior convictions or criminal records and are thereby not on law enforcement's radar. The system and process relies upon the reporting by a victim or a witness of information pertinent to an alleged criminal event. The identity of each reporting victim is never known to the system, unless the victim or witness goes to the police. The system uses a “double blind” method to protect the victim and certain details of the reported incident.

A system for protecting high-value cargo enclosed in a container, while maintaining the container indistinguishable from similar low value shipments, includes an onboard identity module (OBIM) cooperative with an internal locking mechanism (ILM), both of which are externally undetectable. The OBIM can secure the ILM and prevent the container from being opened until a properly encoded unlocking signal from a Security Management System (SMS) is wirelessly received by the OBIM. The unlocking signal can be a composite including a plurality of species of wireless signals such as different frequencies of AM and FM encoded RF and acoustic signals, transmitted simultaneously and / or at specified intervals. In embodiments the OBIM enables remote tracking of the container, and in some embodiments the tracking is double-blind, whereby a Master Number (MN) recorded in shipping documents is associated with a “Random Number” (RN) used for tracking, the association being known only to the SMS.

The invention discloses a random encryption and double-blind confidential matching method for images, and relates to a non-stationary data measurement and image matching technologies. According to the method, the characteristic that a non-stationary measurement method is not affected by disturbance data distribution is used, and confidential matching of a target image with all floating images hidden by noises is realized, that is, image matching is performed under the condition that the target image and the floating images are encrypted. The method has the advantages as follows: the image matching precision is high; the encrypted target image cannot be intercepted and leaked during transmission; an image database is good in confidentiality; a to-be-matched object is encrypted, an operator cannot know information of the to-be-matched object, and even an encryption person cannot decrypt the to-be-matched object. The method has the broad application prospect in information security fields of identity authentication and the like.

The invention discloses an image certainty encryption double-blind secrecy matching method and relates to data instability measuring and image matching technology. The image certainty encryption double-blind secrecy matching method can be used for conducting secrecy matching on an image with randomly disordered pixel positions by means of the characteristic that an instability measuring method can be used for measuring the stability of data streams. The image certainty encryption double-blind secrecy matching method has the advantages that the pixel positions of the image are disordered and encrypted, and under the situation that the random number of the positions is unknown, the image cannot be restored and image content cannot be identified; the encrypted image is difficult to decrypt; under the situation that a secret key is known, the image can be easily restored. The image certainty encryption double-blind secrecy matching method has wide application prospects in the fields of identity authentication, information security and the like.

The invention provides a drug clinical testing method which is in particular suitable for the clinical trials of drugs for some fatal diseases. At present, the international general drug clinical testing employs the randomized controlled double-blind trial method which is characterized in that patients are divided into a trial group and a control group, and the patients in the trial group are given a tested drug for treatment while a placebo without any curative effect is given to the patients in the control group; if the drug is aimed at curing some fatal diseases which some conventional drugs cannot cure, such as terminal cancer, it is extremely inhuman for the patients in the control group because the patients in the control group are given the placebo without any curative effect only and are destined to die of the disease. The method provided by the invention is characterized in that the patients receiving the testing can get the same drug, and only the doses are different; if the drug passes the clinical testing successfully, some patients who are not cured because of the dose difference can recover by adjusting the doses according to clinical testing results; thus, the method conforms to the revolutionary humanitarian spirit of heating the wounded and rescue the dying.
