Abstract:
A method includes transmitting a message to a first end point that includes an instruction to initiate a communication type in which the communication type includes sharing a randomization token between the first and a second end point. The method further includes obtaining a first communication report from the first end point and a second communication report from the second end point in response to initialization of a communication based on the communication type in which the first and second communication reports respectively include a first and second hash that corresponds to a function of the randomization token and identity information. The method further includes determining whether the first hash matches the second hash and generating a value that correlates the first and second end points with the communication across the network in response to determining that the first hash matches the second hash.
