Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for preparing a secure search index for securely detecting personally identifiable information may include (i) receiving, at a computing device, a dataset including a record, where the record has a field including a value describing personally identifiable information and (ii) performing, at the computing device, a security action. The security action may include (i) generating, using a perfect hash function, a respective hashed key from the value and (ii) adding, to the secure search index (a) the respective hashed key or (b) a subsequent hashed key created from the respective hashed key. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and system for low-memory footprint fingerprinting and indexing for efficiently measuring document similarity and containment are described. A method may include extracting, by a processor, content from a set of one or more data files. The method may also determine a size of the content and apply a hash function to the content to generate multiple hashes. The method selects a constrained set of the hashes to generate a fixed-size fingerprint representative of the content when the size of the content is greater than a threshold size. The method stores the fixed-size fingerprint representative of the content in an endpoint index for at least partial file content matching by an endpoint device. The method may employ a statistical-based optimization to speed-up query time.
