In this paper, we introduce a hybrid model that combines the elements of an RRT model and the Paillier encryption protocol which is common in computer science. The goal of this work is to leverage the strengths of both methods to come up with a more efficient sensitive data collection technique that produces a more efficient estimator as compared to Warner’s indirect question model.
