Abstract
Methods and systems for transmitting user aggregate data to a third party, such that a privacy of the aggregated data is protected, while analytical usefulness of the aggregated data is preserved. The method including receiving, using a transceiver, aggregated data including time-series data collected over a period of time. Selecting, from a memory, a mapping for transforming a segment of the aggregated data of a predetermined size. Partitioning the aggregated data into a multiple data segments, each data segment is of the predetermined size. Transforming each data segment using the mapping to produce multiple transformed data segments, wherein each data segment is transformed by the mapping independently from other data segments. Finally, transmitting, using the transceiver, the multiple transformed data segments to a third party over a communication channel, wherein steps of the method are performed by a processor operatively connected with the memory and the transceiver.
