in reply to (OT) Dealing with end user paranoia

Having an extra terminal with a browser that is restricted (through a proxy) to the survey can help. The restriction is because people should not be using the computer for other things: more people need to submit the survey.

    Putting up such a terminal isn't going to help. You could set it up such that it is done totally anonymously. But then, there is no way to check whether all the responses you got are from different persons, or whether all the responses came from just one person. But if you prevent this by giving people one-time keys, you will have an almost impossible task to prove that the survey cannot be tracked.

      We have used one time keys in school for a survey. Nobody has his own computer, so any computer could be used. The key codes were printed on paper, and we shuffled them, and handed them out in random order.
