Abstract
Systems are methods are used for facilitating identify anonymization by using controlled masking and encryption of user identifiers, such as UUIDs. A system that manages a UUID converts the UUID into a set of one or more different unique versions of the UUID for one or more corresponding different partner system(s) by removing and replacing masked portions of the UUID and by selectively encrypting the non-masked portions of the UUID. New masked portions added to the new version(s) of the UUID identify different corresponding partner(s) and/or rules to be applied by the different partner(s) when handling the different unique version(s) of the UUID(s). Partner systems that receive the new versions of the UUID identify and utilize the new masked portions to deterministically control decrypting and/or other processing of the new version of the UUID.
