number To Mask
Parameters
value
Number of characters to mask. If not set, all matching chars will be masked. Skipped characters do not count towards this tally. If number_to_mask
is negative, this denotes inverse masking. Cloud DLP masks all but a number of characters. For example, suppose you have the following values: - masking_character
is *
- number_to_mask
is -4
- reverse_order
is false
- CharsToIgnore
includes -
- Input string is 1234-5678-9012-3456
The resulting de-identified string is ****-****-****-3456
. Cloud DLP masks all but the last four characters. If reverse_order
is true
, all but the first four characters are masked as 1234-****-****-****
.
