Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization - The process of replacing a personally identifiable field (like a patient's name) within a data record with an artificial identifier (a pseudonym). Unlike anonymization, this technique allows data to be traced back to its origin, and the resulting hash or lookup value can look very realistic without being real.[Data Governance_]
