Optim Data Privacy Providers

Introduction

The Optim Data Privacy Providers (ODPP) package offers a set of callable functions that enables clients to privatize user data leveraging the identical algorithms that are used by the IBM Optim solution. This allows clients to achieve consistent and repeatable results that match those generated by the IBM Optim solution given the same input and identical runtime options.

Enabling sites to achieve consistent results for their own data stores, allows for Data Privacy standardization across the enterprise. Having consistently masked data across IBM Optim supported data stores enables sites to run end-to-end regression testing and remain aligned to company policies and government regulations.

This version of ODPP offers the following Data Privacy Providers:

Provider Description
Credit Card Mask Credit card numbers.
Email Mask Email addresses.
Lookup Given a source value, replace with a corresponding value from Lookup table.
The current version of the Lookup service provider supports only Oracle, DB2-LUW v9.1 and beyond as well as DB2 z/OS v9.1 and beyond.
Affinity (Column Transformation) Mask value, and maintain picture clause. The number and character data is masked, but the data type remains the same.
Date Add and subtract from an input date.
Hash Return a consistent hash token.
National IDs Mask National Identifiers (NIDs) for different countries while enforcing country NID standards.
Data Swapping Swaps random pairs of fields.
