public sealed class CharacterMaskConfig : IMessage<CharacterMaskConfig>, IEquatable<CharacterMaskConfig>, IDeepCloneable<CharacterMaskConfig>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
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.
public RepeatedField<CharsToIgnore> CharactersToIgnore { get; }
When masking a string, items in this list will be skipped when replacing
characters. For example, if the input string is 555-555-5555 and you
instruct Cloud DLP to skip - and mask 5 characters with *, Cloud DLP
returns ***-**5-5555.
Character to use to mask the sensitive values—for example, * for an
alphabetic string such as a name, or 0 for a numeric string such as ZIP
code or credit card number. This string must have a length of 1. If not
supplied, this value defaults to * for strings, and 0 for digits.
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***.
