        abstract = {The digital transformation of university campuses has created a growing tension between institutional accountability and student privacy. IntraPing is a MERN-stack platform designed to provide verified anonymity within authenticated university environments. The system enables students to communicate freely while maintaining institutional trust and technical security. It introduces Enrollment ID- based verification, OTP-enabled authentication, state-aware JWT enforcement, and server-side identity stripping to ensure that users remain anonymous at the database level. The architecture separates user credentials from post content to eliminate traceable metadata linkage. IntraPing demonstrates that institutional verification and user anonymity can coexist in a secure academic communication ecosystem.},
