Requirements for OONI's anonymous credentials system
by Maria Xynou 24 Mar '25

24 Mar '25

Hello, How can we protect the OONI dataset from attacks and faulty measurements, while preserving the privacy of OONI Probe users? To protect and increase trust in OONI data, we are working with a cryptographer (Michele Orrù) towards designing and implementing anonymous credentials within OONI Probe. In our latest blog post, we outline some of the *key requirements for OONI's anonymous credential system*: https://ooni.org/post/2025-requirements-for-oonis-anonymous-credentials/ Thanks, OONI team.
