Trying to implement the data masking at enterprise level but getting different mask values for different data sources.

  • 1.  Trying to implement the data masking at enterprise level but getting different mask values for different data sources.

    Hi,

    I am using HASHLOV function to implement the masking on first name and last name field. Similarly, i am using the HASHLOV function and same seed list while applying masking on CSV file. Unfortunately, i am getting different mask value for same First names which are stored in Oracle Data Base and in CSV file. please suggest.

    Is this happened because hash value will be different for any name  in CSV file and Oracle database. OR do i need to reanalyze the things. Thanks,

    Assuming that you are using the same seed table.  Are the values to be masked exactly the same.  eg case exactly the same.
