Systems and methods for privacy preserving accurate analysis of network paths

A system for anonymizing a group of configuration files to provide an anonymized configuration database, the system comprising:

• a native configuration database including sets of configuration files, each configuration file including one or more ranges, wherein each range includes a consecutive sequence of IP addresses, port numbers, or IP addresses and port numbers, wherein the ranges may be contiguous;
• a key management database including a key assigned to each configuration file of the native configuration database;
• a processor in communication with the native configurations database and the key management database;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor configured to store program instructions executable by the processor,
• wherein the program instructions, when executed by the processor, permit the processor to execute steps for anonymizing the ranges of the native configuration database to provide an anonymized configuration database, and wherein retrieving the ranges of the configuration files of the native configuration database from the anonymized configuration database is prevented.
