Pseudonymisointikeinoja, or pseudonymization techniques, are methods used to protect the identity of individuals in datasets while still allowing for data analysis and research. Pseudonymization involves replacing identifying information with artificial identifiers, or pseudonyms, which are unique but do not directly reveal the original identity. This process is crucial in fields such as healthcare, finance, and social sciences, where data privacy is paramount.
One common pseudonymization technique is the use of hash functions. A hash function takes an input (such
Another technique is tokenization, where identifying information is replaced with random tokens. These tokens have no
Pseudonymization can also involve the use of synthetic data, where artificial datasets are created that mimic
Despite its benefits, pseudonymization is not a foolproof method of protecting privacy. If the pseudonyms can
