Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for privacy-preserving sharing of data for secure collaboration. During operation, the system obtains a first set of data describing network events associated with one or more network addresses. Next, the system negotiates with a potential partner to determine a metric for deciding whether to share data. The potential partner is associated with a second set of data describing network events. The system then computes a value for the metric in a privacy-preserving way, based on the first set of data and the second set of data. Subsequently, the system determines whether the metric value exceeds a predetermined threshold, and, responsive to determining that the metric value exceeds the predetermined threshold, the system shares the first set of data with the potential partner, while controlling how the data should be shared to optimize benefits and risks of collaboration.
