Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for stable selection of collaborating partners for exchanging security data. During operation, the system receives vectors of collaboration values from a plurality of entities. A collaboration value is a measure of an expected benefit of collaborating with a respective entity. The system sorts each of the vectors by the collaboration values of the respective vector. The system then determines matching entities given a number of partners wanted by each organization in N. The system may add matching entities to lists of collaborating partners given the number of partners wanted by each organization in N. Subsequently, the system sends the lists of collaborating partners to facilitate exchanging security data with partners in the list of collaborating partners.
