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.

#characters_to_ignore
def characters_to_ignore() -> ::Array<::Google::Cloud::Dlp::V2::CharsToIgnore>
Returns
-
(::Array<::Google::Cloud::Dlp::V2::CharsToIgnore>) — When masking a string, items in this list will be skipped when replacing
characters. For example, if the input string is
555-555-5555and you instruct Cloud DLP to skip-and mask 5 characters with*, Cloud DLP returns***-**5-5555.
#characters_to_ignore=
def characters_to_ignore=(value) -> ::Array<::Google::Cloud::Dlp::V2::CharsToIgnore>
Parameter
-
value (::Array<::Google::Cloud::Dlp::V2::CharsToIgnore>) — When masking a string, items in this list will be skipped when replacing
characters. For example, if the input string is
555-555-5555and you instruct Cloud DLP to skip-and mask 5 characters with*, Cloud DLP returns***-**5-5555.
Returns

#masking_character
def masking_character() -> ::String
Returns
-
(::String) — Character to use to mask the sensitive values—for example,
*for an alphabetic string such as a name, or0for 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, and0for digits.
#masking_character=
def masking_character=(value) -> ::String
Parameter
-
value (::String) — Character to use to mask the sensitive values—for example,
*for an alphabetic string such as a name, or0for 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, and0for digits.
Returns
-

#number_to_mask
def number_to_mask() -> ::Integer
Returns
- (::Integer) — Number of characters to mask. If not set, all matching chars will be masked. Skipped characters do not count towards this tally.
#number_to_mask=
def number_to_mask=(value) -> ::Integer
Parameter
- value (::Integer) — Number of characters to mask. If not set, all matching chars will be masked. Skipped characters do not count towards this tally.
Returns
- (::Integer) — Number of characters to mask. If not set, all matching chars will be masked. Skipped characters do not count towards this tally.
#reverse_order
def reverse_order() -> ::Boolean
Returns
-
(::Boolean) — Mask characters in reverse order. For example, if
masking_characteris0,number_to_maskis14, andreverse_orderisfalse, then the input string1234-5678-9012-3456is masked as00000000000000-3456. Ifmasking_characteris*,number_to_maskis3, andreverse_orderistrue, then the string12345is masked as12***.
#reverse_order=
def reverse_order=(value) -> ::Boolean
Parameter
-
value (::Boolean) — Mask characters in reverse order. For example, if
masking_characteris0,number_to_maskis14, andreverse_orderisfalse, then the input string1234-5678-9012-3456is masked as00000000000000-3456. Ifmasking_characteris*,number_to_maskis3, andreverse_orderistrue, then the string12345is masked as12***.
Returns
-
(::Boolean) — Mask characters in reverse order. For example, if
masking_characteris0,number_to_maskis14, andreverse_orderisfalse, then the input string1234-5678-9012-3456is masked as00000000000000-3456. Ifmasking_characteris*,number_to_maskis3, andreverse_orderistrue, then the string12345is masked as12***.
