Techniques are described for providing access to anonymized user data derived from external data providers. A persona management system generates a searchable data store containing metadata related to a plurality of users of the persona management system. The metadata includes entries indicating: a first identifier of a user of the plurality of users of the persona management system, a second identifier of an external data provider of a plurality of external data providers that possess data related to users of the persona management system, a third identifier of an algorithm that is used to transform data possessed by the external data provider related to the user of the persona management system into one or more transformed data values, and the one or more transformed data values. In response to requests from various data consumers, the persona management system uses the metadata to identify users matching specified search criteria.

Systems and methods for obtaining anonymized information derived from data obtained from external data providers

An electric vehicle charging station charging electric vehicles dynamically responds to power limit messages. The charging station includes a charging port that is configured to electrically connect to an electric vehicle to provide power to charge that electric vehicle. The charging station also includes a power control unit coupled with the charging port, the power control unit configured to control an amount of power provided through the charging port. The charging station also includes a set of one or more charging station control modules that are configured to, in response to receipt of a message that indicates a request to limit an amount of power to an identified percentage and based on a history of power provided through the charging port over a period of time, cause the power control unit to limit the power provided through the charging port to the identified percentage.

Techniques are described that enable client computer systems to request an attestation provider server to execute a given algorithm as identified by a decentralized algorithm identifier on the blockchain, using a specific data set. In some embodiments, the owners of the algorithms, data schemas, and data sets use their private key to sign/register each of these decentralized identifier structures, which includes a copy of the owner's public key. Ownership of these decentralized identifiers can be validated by verifying the digital signatures on the blockchain. In some embodiments, only the owner can replace or delete (retire) these identifiers by creating a cancellation transaction on the blockchain for each of these identifiers. In some scenarios, the decentralized identifier structures may include payment options for requesting the execution of an algorithm upon a given appropriate data set.

Establishing decentralized identifiers for algorithms, data schemas, data sets, and algorithm execution requests

Techniques are described for generating semi-random private transaction identifiers for users that are meaningful to data providers and can be used by data providers to perform internal queries for user data. A user provides input to an identity management service indicating the user's consent to link their user account at the identity management service to one or more data providers. The identity management service stores a group blinded transaction identifier (GBTI) based on transaction identifiers generated by one or more data providers. When the user desires to obtain a service from a service provider, the user obtains GBTI-derived value from the identity management service and sends it to the service provider. The service provider sends the GBTI-derived value (and possibly other information) to the data provider to prove that it has the user's consent to obtain desired data or insights about the user but without infringing the user's privacy.

Generating and linking private transaction identifiers to distributed data repositories

An electric vehicle charging station that supports delayed charging overrides. In one embodiment, to support delayed charging override in an electric vehicle charging station that requires authorization, after authentication is successful (e.g., the electric vehicle operator is authorized) and the electric vehicle is detected (e.g., the charging cord has been plugged into the charging port of the electric vehicle), the charging station begins a plug out timer for the electric vehicle operator to unplug the charging cord from the charging port of the electric vehicle and then begins a plug-in timer for the electric vehicle operator to plug the charging cord back into the charging port of the electric vehicle. If the electric vehicle operator does so within the periods of the timers, the charging session will not end and the delayed charging will be overridden.
