Masking Function Examples

Masking Function Examples

A masking function defines how the Rule Engine masks data. The Rule Engine applies masking functions to incoming SELECT SQL statements that an unauthorized client sends to the database. Dynamic Data Masking rewrites the SQL statement. When the database receives the request, the database sends masked data to the client.
To create masking functions, use regular expressions and database management system SQL functions on the SELECT LIST columns.
The following table describes examples of masking functions:
