Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for anonymizing data by one or more computing devices, said method comprising: intercepting, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a communication between a server computing device and a client computing device; identifying, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a sensitive data field in the communication; determining, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, whether the communication is being transmitted to the client computing device or whether the communication is being received from the client computing device; performing, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, a transformation on data in the sensitive data field to generate transformed data, wherein the transformation comprises: transmitting, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, the transformed data, wherein the transformed data includes sensitive data and is transmitted to an application on the server computing device when de-masking is performed and wherein the transformed data includes masked data and is transmitted to the client computing device when masking is performed.
