Methods and system for privacy preserving information exchange in a network of electronic devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is implemented in an electronic device to serve as a local party for information exchange between the local party and another electronic device to serve as an aggregator. The method includes storing a plurality of values in a 2D vector, where a first dimension of the 2D vector is based on the number of values, and where each position in the first dimension has one unique value. The method further includes transmitting the 2D vector to the aggregator with masking for the aggregator to prevent the aggregator from decoding the 2D vector, where aggregating the masked 2D vector with masked 2D vectors from other local parties allows decoding of the aggregated 2D vector.
