Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for performing private identification matching. The methods and systems store, by a first entity, a first set of private identifiers associated with a first set of data. The methods and systems group, by the first entity, different subsets of the first set of private identifiers into respective buckets of a first plurality of buckets according to a grouping criterion. The methods and systems apply a function to a subset of a second set of data, stored by a second entity, corresponding to private identifiers associated with one or more buckets of a second plurality of buckets, grouped by the second entity, that match private identifiers associated with one or more buckets of the first plurality of buckets. The methods and systems provide, to the first entity, a result of applying the function to the subset of the second set of data.
