Abstract
A system for metric obfuscation may include one or more processors and memory. The one or more processors may receive a dataset comprising a plurality of metrics that relate to user demographic information and may generate a seed based at least in part on the dataset. The one or more processors may initialize a pseudorandom number generator with the seed and may generate a plurality of pseudorandom numbers using the pseudo-random number generator. The one or more processors may generate a plurality of obfuscated metrics corresponding to the plurality of metrics, wherein each of the plurality of obfuscated metrics is generated at least in part based on a corresponding metric of the plurality of metrics and a corresponding pseudorandom number of the plurality of pseudorandom numbers. The one or more processors may provide the plurality of obfuscated metrics.
