anonymizer
anonymizes data containing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) using a combination of salting and hashing. You can find quality examples of data anonymization in R here, here, and here.
You can install the latest development version from CRAN:
install.packages("anonymizer")
Or from GitHub with:
if (packageVersion("devtools") < 1.6) {
install.packages("devtools")
}
devtools::install_github("paulhendricks/anonymizer")
If you encounter a clear bug, please file a minimal reproducible example on GitHub.
anonymizer
employs four convenience functions: salt
, unsalt
, hash
, and anonymize
.
