Algorithm syncability
Overview
Algorithms are fully syncable between Masking Engines. To obtain a list of syncable algorithms, use the GET /syncable-objects API with object_type set to USER_ALGORITHM:
CODE
GET https://host.example.com/masking/api/syncable-objects?object_type=USER_ALGORITHM
The semantics of synching an instance of the Mapping Algorithm Framework depend on its configuration. See Mapping Algorithm Sync for more information.
Non-deterministic Algorithms
Some algorithms are non-deterministic. While exporting these algorithms is supported, they will not produce identical masking results on different engines. The following table lists the built-in non-deterministic algorithms:
Algorithm API Name | Algorithm UI Name |
|---|---|
CreditCard | CREDIT CARD |
DateShiftFixed | DATE SHIFT(FIXED) |
DateShiftVariable | DATE SHIFT(VARIABLE) |
SecureShuffle | SECURE SHUFFLE |
RepeatFirstDigit | ZIP+4 |
