Arbitrary base value for EPID calculation

Systems and methods for using an arbitrary base value for EPID calculations are provided herein. A system to use arbitrary base values in enhanced privacy ID (EPID) calculation, where the system includes a microcontroller; and a memory coupled to the microcontroller; wherein the microcontroller is to: obtain an arbitrary value at a member device, the member device being a member of a group of member devices, each member device in the group of member devices having a unique private EPID key assigned from a pool of private keys, where any of the pool of private keys is able to sign content that is verifiable by a single group public key, and the arbitrary value being one of a time-based value or a usage-based value; construct an EPID base using the arbitrary value; and transmit content signed with the private key using the EPID base to a verifier.
