A production-ready, reusable module for handling PII (Personally Identifiable Information) data across all endpoints and applications. Provides enterprise-grade tokenization, encryption, masking, and pseudonymization capabilities.

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
# Install the module
pip install -e .

# Install with development dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Install with framework-specific dependencies
pip install -e ".[fastapi]"  # For FastAPI integration
pip install -e ".[flask]"    # For Flask integration
```

### Basic Usage

```python
from pii_engine import PIIEngine

# Initialize the engine
engine = PIIEngine()

# Process input data (tokenize and encrypt PII)
input_data = {
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "john.doe@company.com",
    "phone": "+1-555-123-4567",
    "department": "Engineering"  # Non-PII field
}

processed_data = engine.process_input_data(input_data, table_name="employees")
# Result: {"name_token": "TKN_PERSON_NAME_a1b2c3d4", "email_token": "TKN_EMAIL_x9y8z7w6", ...}

# Get display data based on user role
display_data = engine.get_display_data(
    processed_data,
    table_name="employees",
    display_mode="masked",  # "masked", "pseudonymized", or "plaintext"
    user_role="user"
)
# Result: {"name": "J*** D***", "email": "j***@company.com", ...}
```

### Security Flow

```
Input Data → Tokenization → Encryption → Database Storage
     ↓              ↓            ↓            ↓
"john@email.com" → TKN_EMAIL_x9y8 → AES-256 → Encrypted Blob

Database Retrieval → Decryption → Role-based Display → Frontend
        ↓               ↓              ↓              ↓
   Encrypted Blob → "john@email.com" → "j***@email.com" → User Sees Masked
```

## 🔧 Integration Examples

### FastAPI Integration

```python
from fastapi import FastAPI
from pii_engine.middleware.fastapi_middleware import PIIMiddleware
from pii_engine import PIIEngine

app = FastAPI()
pii_engine = PIIEngine()

# Add automatic PII processing middleware
app.add_middleware(
    PIIMiddleware,
    pii_engine=pii_engine,
    auto_process_requests=True,
    auto_process_responses=True
)

@app.post("/users")
async def create_user(user_data: dict):
    # PII automatically processed by middleware
    # Save processed_data to database
    return {"status": "success"}
```

### Flask Integration

```python
from flask import Flask
from pii_engine.middleware.flask_middleware import PIIFlaskMiddleware

app = Flask(__name__)
pii_middleware = PIIFlaskMiddleware(app)

@app.route("/users", methods=["POST"])
@pii_process_input(table_name="users")
@pii_process_output(display_mode="masked")
def create_user(processed_data):
    # Work with tokenized data
    return processed_data
```

### Manual Integration

```python
from pii_engine import PIIEngine

def your_existing_endpoint(request_data):
    engine = PIIEngine()
    
    # Step 1: Process input PII
    processed_data = engine.process_input_data(request_data, "users")
    
    # Step 2: Save to database (contains tokens only)
    database.save(processed_data)
    
    # Step 3: Return appropriate display data
    display_data = engine.get_display_data(
        processed_data, "users", "masked", "user"
    )
    
    return {"user": display_data}
```

### Standalone Proxy Service

```bash
# Run PII proxy between frontend and backend
python run_pii_proxy.py

# Frontend calls proxy instead of backend:
# http://localhost:8000/api/users (proxy)
# Proxy forwards to: http://localhost:8001/api/users (backend)
```

## 🛡️ Security Features

### Multi-Layer Protection

1. **Tokenization**: Deterministic tokens for duplicate detection
2. **Encryption**: AES-256 Fernet encryption for data at rest
3. **Masking**: Role-based data masking for display
4. **Pseudonymization**: Realistic fake data for testing/analytics
5. **Audit Logging**: Comprehensive access and operation logging

### Role-Based Access Control

```yaml
# config/policies.yaml
access_policies:
  roles:
    admin:
      can_view_plaintext: true
      audit_required: true
    user:
      can_view_masked: true
    analyst:
      can_view_pseudonymized: true
```

### Compliance Support

- **GDPR**: Right to be forgotten, data portability
- **CCPA**: Opt-out rights, data transparency
- **HIPAA**: Healthcare data protection (configurable)
- **SOX**: Financial data compliance
