Tokenization of Structured Data

摘要

Structured data, such as email addresses, social security numbers, and the like is accessed for encoding. A set of encoding rules including one or more encoding actions and/or encoding components corresponding to each of one or more structured data components is accessed. The set of encoding rules can include one or more encoding actions and/or one or more encoding components corresponding to each of one or more structured data components. Encoding actions can include tokenization, encryption, data masking, data modification, and the like. The one or more components of the structured data are encoded based on the accessed set of encoding rules. The encoded structured data is stored, processed, or outputted to an external entity.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, at an intermediate server from a sender device, structured data comprising a physical address, the physical address comprising a street number component, a street name component, and a city name component; accessing, by the intermediate server, a set of encoding rules, the set of encoding rules comprising a first encoding action corresponding to the street number component, a second encoding action different from the first encoding action corresponding to the street name component, and a third encoding action different from the first encoding action and the second encoding action corresponding to the city name component, at least one of the first encoding action, the second encoding action, and the third encoding action comprising a tokenization operation; modifying, by the intermediate server, structured data, wherein modifying the structured data comprises:
encoding the street number component of the structured data based on the first encoding action corresponding to the street number component;encoding the street name component of the structured data based on the second encoding action corresponding to the street name component; andencoding the city name component of the structured data based on the third encoding action corresponding to the city name component; and transmitting, by the intermediate server, the modified structured data to a recipient device.
