A method and system for anonymizing data to be transmitted to a destination computing device is disclosed. Anonymization strategy for data anonymization is provided. Data to be transmitted is received from a user computer. Selective anonymization of the data is performed, based on the anonymization strategy, using an anonymization module. The data includes a plurality of characters. A portion of the anonymized data is selected as a search ID. A cross reference between a search key indicative of a portion of the received data and the corresponding search ID is stored.

System and method to anonymize data transmitted to a destination computing device

A method and system for anonymizing data to be transmitted to a destination computing device is disclosed. Anonymization strategy for data anonymization is provided. Data to be transmitted is received from a user computer. Selective anonymization of the data is performed, based on the anonymization strategy, using an anonymization module. The data includes a plurality of characters. An order indicator data indicative of the order of the received data is generated. The received data is anonymized to derive an anonymized data. The anonymized data and the order indicator data is transmitted to the destination computer over a network. In one embodiment, a portion of the anonymized data is selected as a search ID. A cross reference between a search key indicative of a portion of the received data and the corresponding search ID is stored.

A method and system for anonymizing data is disclosed. Data to be anonymized is received by an anonymization system. A request for a data encryption key is generated. A masked data encryption key is received in response to the request. The data encryption key is retrieved from the masked data encryption key. The data is anonymized using an anonymization module to derive an anonymized data using the data encryption key.

A method and system for anonymizing data to be transmitted to a destination computing device is disclosed. Anonymization strategy for data anonymization is provided. Data to be transmitted is received from a user computer. Selective anonymization of the data is performed, based on the anonymization strategy, using an anonymization module. The data includes a plurality of characters and defines a clear data. A modified clear data with number of characters greater than the clear data is formed using the clear data, a delimiter data and a pad data. The modified clear data is anonymized to derive an anonymized data. The anonymized data is transmitted to the destination computer over a network. In one embodiment, a portion of the pad data is selected as a seed value to generate an initialization vector to anonymize the clear data.

A method and system for a distributed anonymization system is disclosed. A master anonymization system is provided. A slave anonymization system is configured to communicate with the master anonymization system, wherein the master anonymization system permits the slave anonymization system to perform one or more functions. The slave anonymization system is configured receives a request from a user computer that requires slave anonymization system to perform a function. The performance of the function requires either storage of data to a data store in a destination computing device or retrieval of data from the data store in the destination computing device, wherein the data is stored or retrieved in an anonymized form. The slave anonymization system verifies if the function to be performed is a permitted function. If it is a permitted function, the function is performed.

A method and system for anonymizing data to be transmitted to a destination computing device is disclosed. Anonymization strategy for data anonymization is provided. Data to be transmitted is received from a user computer. The data includes a plurality of numbers and defines a clear data in a first base encoding scheme, with one or more predefined characteristics. The clear data is converted to a modified clear data in a second base encoding scheme. The modified clear data is anonymized using an anonymization module, to derive an interim anonymized data in the second base encoding scheme. A converted interim anoymized data in the first base encoding scheme is designated as the anonymized data, if the converted interim anonymized data meets the predefined characteristics of the clear data. The anonymized data is transmitted to the destination computer over a network.

A method and system for anonymizing data to be transmitted to a destination computing device is disclosed. Anonymization strategy for data anonymization is provided. Data to be transmitted is received from a user computer. A context sensing word is appended to the anonymized data. The anonymized data and the context sensing word are transmitted to the destination computing device. In one embodiment, the data includes a plurality of normal words and a plurality of stop words. A compacted stop word representative of each of the stop word and their relative position in the data is created. Anonymized normal words and anonymized compacted stop word is transmitted to the destination computing device.

A method and system for anonymizing data to be stored in a destination computing device is disclosed. A first data store is provided in a first user computing device, the first data store including a file folder designated as a first sync folder. A destination data store is provided in a destination computing device, the destination data store including a file folder designated as a destination sync folder. A file stored in the first sync folder is also stored in the destination sync folder and the file stored in the destination sync folder is anonymized before transmission of the file to the destination computing device over a network for storage in the destination sync folder.

A method and system for anonymizing data to be transmitted to a destination computing device is disclosed. Anonymization strategy for data anonymization is provided. Data to be transmitted is received from a user computer. Selective anonymization of the data is performed, based on the anonymization strategy, using an anonymization module. The received data includes a plurality of characters encoded in a first encoding scheme, with a first subset of characters assigned to a first language. The first subset of characters are encoded in a second encoding scheme to derive a modified data. The second encoding scheme has number of bits sufficient to encode total number of characters in the first language. The modified data is anonymized to derive an anonymized data. The anonymized data is transmitted to a destination computing device.

A method and system for anonymizing data to be transmitted to a destination computing device is disclosed. Anonymization strategy for data anonymization is provided. Data to be transmitted is received from a user computer. Selective anonymization of the data is performed, based on the anonymization strategy, using an anonymization module. The data is anonymized using the anonymization module, to derive an anonymized data, using a data encryption key. The anonymized data is transmitted to the destination computer over a network. In some embodiments, the data encryption key is encrypted and decrypted prior to anonymization.
