Google Privacy Dlp V2Character Mask Config Args
Partially mask a string by replacing a given number of characters with a fixed character. Masking can start from the beginning or end of the string. This can be used on data of any type (numbers, longs, and so on) and when de-identifying structured data we'll attempt to preserve the original data's type. (This allows you to take a long like 123 and modify it to a string like **3.

Properties
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-****-****-****
.
Mask characters in reverse order. For example, if masking_character
is 0
, number_to_mask
is 14
, and reverse_order
is false
, then the input string 1234-5678-9012-3456
is masked as 00000000000000-3456
. If masking_character
is *
, number_to_mask
is 3
, and reverse_order
is true
, then the string 12345
is masked as 12***
.
