Data encryption

[om-sharma]

We are looking to use ARX for data annonymization. One of the requirement we have is to encrypt a field while also applying privacy models on different other fields. A quick search with in ARX documents and code couldn't provide any clue about if encryption is supported. If not supported then how complex could it be? Is it possible to extend the model to support this?

Thank you for your interest in ARX!

This functionality is currently not supported, but we are working on including it. We expect that field encryption will be added in the upcoming version of ARX. Including it is quite complex, as this adds a completely new type of operation to the software (data masking in parallel to formal anonymization). If you want to contribute, please take a look at our "psn" branch and the class DataMaskingFunction.java as well as other places where it is used. You could, e.g. provide a masking function that implements the types of encryption that you need. We will the include it in the software.

Best regards Fabian
