Helper functions to pseudonymize data like text, email addresses or license tags.

gocept.pseudonymize

This package provides helper functions to pseudonymize data like text, integers, email addresses or license tags.

It uses the crypt module for pseudonymization, which means, it is not eligible to pseudonymize long text blocks as the hash generated by crypt is relatively short.

Usage

gocept.pseudonymize provides single functions for pseudonymization of various data types. Each function takes the value, which should be pseudonymized, and a secret, which is passed as a salt to the crypt module. The pseudonymize function return the exact same result, if secret and value do not change:

>>> import gocept.pseudonymize
>>> gocept.pseudonymize.text('asdf', 'secret')
'dugD'

This package is tested to be compatible with Python version 2.7 and 3.3.

>>> import gocept.pseudonymize
>>> gocept.pseudonymize.integer(4711, 'secret')
1029

To pseudonymize email addresses, gocept.pseudonymize provides the email function:

'Z1Y-YV 784'

To pseudonymize license tags, gocept.pseudonymize provides the phone function:

>>> import gocept.pseudonymize
>>> gocept.pseudonymize.phone('[phone]', 'secret')
