  • 1.  Segment mapping algorithm and specials characters

    Posted 04-06-2018 02:28:00 PM
    Hi all,
    I've just created a Segment Mapping Algorithm to mask a ID CODE value in our database.
    The original value is mostly Alphanumerical characters like 'ABCD1234XYZ9876' but some ids conteins special characters like '-' or '*'  (i.e.   'ABDC-1234*XYZ'). Not all lines contiens special characters and specials char don't have specific position within the code.
    I saw that thoses lines are not masked. Masking Engine Ignore them.
    How can i mask this code too (i don't have to preserve special char, they can be replaced by alphanumerical values) ?

    Regards

    Hi Nicholas,
    I suggest 2 points.
    1. Create the Algorithm as wide as the widest incoming string e.g if the max width is 12 chars make the algorithm 4 segments X  3 chars each.
    2. Specify characters to ignore in the algorithm as in the attached diagram.

    Thanks
    Hims
