Given the detailed proposal, it's probably too late now for any fundamental changes, but there's a formal research area called Differential Privacy [1] that deals with the collection of user data in such a way that it preserves the privacy of each participating individual. Have you guys, by any chance, considered looking into that for some inspiration? Either way, if anyone is curious, there's a nice and easy-to-read write up on the key concepts: https://desfontain.es/privacy/differential-privacy-awesomeness.html A specific set of algorithms (RAPPOR) for collecting arbitrary user strings that preserves Differential Privacy has been proposed (and implemented) by Google a while back, too: http://arxiv.org/abs/1407.6981 https://github.com/google/rappor -- Michal Domonkos / RPM dev team / Red Hat, Inc. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
