  • Scrubber to remove personally identifiable information
    Patent number: 10223548
    Abstract: A personally identifiable information (PII) scrubbing system. The PII scrubbing system surgically scrubs PII form a log based on a scrubber configuration corresponding to the log. The scrubber configuration includes context information about locations and types of PII in the log and rules specifying how to locate and protect the PII. Scrubber configurations are quickly and easily created or modified as scrubbing requirements change or new scenarios are encountered. The flexibility provided by the scrubber configurations allows only the PII to be scrubbed, even from unstructured data, without having to include surrounding data. Many consumers can use the scrubbed data without needed to expose the PII because less non-personal data is obscured. Surgical scrubbing also retains the usefulness of the underlying PII even while protecting the PII. Consumers can correlate the protected PII to locate specific information without having to expose additional PII.
