- Data collected by existing 360 assessment tools is not reliable
- No assessment tool preserves the anonymity of assessors
- Assessors provide false data fearing some sort of retaliation
HR suffers a lack of trust because
- Data collected by existing 360 assessment tools is not reliable
- No assessment tool preserves the anonymity of assessors
- Assessors provide false data fearing some sort of retaliation
Solution
Hide: An Anonymity-Preserving Assessment Tool
- Allows only authorized users to log onto the system without knowing whom they really are
- Is unable to pinpoint whom the assessors are
- Is based on Attribute-Based Cryptography (ABS)
ABS authenticates users based on their attribute (e.g. a role) rather than on their identities
- E.g. suppose a 360 assessment where feedback about an assessee’s behavior is gathered from many standpoint
- Here, Hide would only know the role of the assessor, Assessee’s subordinate, peer, client etc.
