You can configure repeatable masking for Social Security numbers. Select the
Repeatable Output
option, select the

option, and enter a value.
The
Integration Service
returns deterministic Social Security numbers with repeatable masking. The
Integration Service
cannot return all unique Social Security numbers because it cannot return valid Social Security numbers that the Social Security Administration has issued.
SSN Randomization
The Social Security Administration developed a method to randomize the nine-digit SSN. This method eliminates the geographical significance of the first three digits of SSN and protects the integrity of the Social Security numbers.
When you configure SSN masking parameters, you can use the SSN randomization technique to mask a Social Security number.
