public sealed class DateShiftConfig : IMessage<DateShiftConfig>, IEquatable<DateShiftConfig>, IDeepCloneable<DateShiftConfig>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention v2 API class DateShiftConfig.
Points to the field that contains the context, for example, an entity id.
If set, must also set cryptoKey. If set, shift will be consistent for the
given context.
Causes the shift to be computed based on this key and the context. This
results in the same shift for the same context and crypto_key. If
set, must also set context. Can only be applied to table items.
Required. Range of shift in days. Actual shift will be selected at random
within this range (inclusive ends). Negative means shift to earlier in
time. Must not be more than 365250 days (1000 years) each direction.
For example, 3 means shift date to at most 3 days into the future.
