‘‘‘Data Masking’’’ of structured data is the process of obscuring (masking obscurity) specific data within a database table or cell to ensure that data security is maintained and sensitive customer information is not leaked outside of the authorized environment. Data masking is typically done in non-production environments so that copies being made to support test and development processes are not exposing sensitive information. Masking algorithms are used on non-master tables so referential integrity is maintained.
