Claim 5:
6. A method for transforming, securing, and transmitting data in a computer network that includes contributor computing devices, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving sanitized, first hashed data values and corresponding clear text data from the contributor computing devices;
transforming the sanitized, first hashed data values into second hashed data values;
linking the second hashed data values to data values previously stored in an identity vault using unique IDs;
determining if the second hashed values include an additional data compared to the data values previously stored in the identity vault;
rekeying a previously generated unique ID and associating in a first storage each of the second hashed values with a rekeyed unique ID to include the additional data not present in the data values previously stored in the identity vault;
generating a data dictionary, the data dictionary including clear text data from multiple data storages, at least some of the clear text data being associated by the rekeyed unique ID;
analyzing the data dictionary for compliance with an admin schema storage of a data storage zone;
communicating, when the data dictionary is determined compliant with compliance rules, the data dictionary to a data access zone with a certified view storage;
storing the data dictionary as one or more independent certified views approved for viewing by a researcher when the data dictionary is determined compliant with the compliance rules; and
providing restricted access to the one or more independent certified views, data dictionary, clear text data, and associated rekeyed unique ID to at least one researcher computing device via a separate and secure virtual desktop interface and preventing data communication from one virtual desktop interface to another virtual desktop interface.
