Gender SL

Based >Extensible Algorithm Framework

The Gender SL algorithm is an instance of the Secure Lookup Algorithm Framework with the RANDOMIZE hash method.

This algorithm does not perform any lookup on the input value and returns a random value from the provided lookup file. It is possible for this algorithm to produce the same output value for different input values. Since the masked values are chosen at random from the lookup file, this algorithm does not maintain referential integrity. Leading and trailing whitespaces are preserved by this algorithm. The masked values maintain the statistical distribution (frequency of values) of the lookup file.

The lookup values for this algorithm are the most commonly used genders.

For example:

• "Female" → "Male"

• "Woman" → "Male"

• "Nonbinary" → "Female"

• "Male" → "Transgender"
