Method for exchanging information between at least two participants via at least one intermediary to limit disclosure between the participants

A method of exchanging information among a first party, a second party, a selected intermediary and a non-selected intermediary via an anonymizing network such that misappropriation of the information is avoided, the method comprising:

• using a computer programmed with a data exchange algorithm to facilitate:
• providing, by the first party, correct first party information to the selected intermediary via the anonymizing network;
• providing, by the second party, correct second party information to the selected intermediary via the anonymizing network;
• providing, by the first party, incorrect first party information to the non-selected intermediary via the anonymizing network;
• providing, by the second party, incorrect second party information to the non-selected intermediary via the anonymizing network;
• processing, by the selected intermediary, the correct first party information in conjunction with the correct second party information to produce selected intermediary information via the anonymizing network;
• processing, by the non-selected intermediary, the incorrect first party information in conjunction with the incorrect second party information to produce non-selected intermediary information;
• providing, by the selected intermediary, the selected intermediary information to at least one of the first party and the second party via the anonymizing network;
• and
• providing, by the non-selected intermediary, the non-selected intermediary information to the at least one of the first party and the second party via the anonymizing network.

A method of processing information, comprising:

• using a computer programmed with a data exchange algorithm to facilitate:
• receiving, by a selected intermediary, correct information from a first party via an anonymizing network;
• receiving, by the selected intermediary, a correct program from a second party via the anonymizing network;
• processing the correct information with the correct program to produce intermediary information;
• providing the intermediary information to at least one of the first party and the second party via the anonymizing network;
• and
• wherein a plurality of additional non-selected intermediaries receive and process incorrect first party information in conjunction with an incorrect program via the anonymizing network.

A method of exchanging information between at least one party and an intermediary via an anonymizing network such that misappropriation of the information is avoided, the method comprising:

• a party providing at least two sets of information to the intermediary using a data exchange algorithm in conjunction with the anonymizing network, wherein the at least two sets include a set of correct information and a set of incorrect information that is plausible;
• the party receiving at least two sets of modified information from the intermediary using the data exchange algorithm in conjunction with the anonymizing network, wherein the at least two sets of modified information include modified information resulting from running a data analysis program on the correct information and on the incorrect information;
• and
• wherein the anonymizing network functions such that the intermediary does not know which of the at least two sets of information is the correct information and does not know which of the at least two sets of modified information is based on the correct information.
