Discussion: Is there a way to mask digital information without encryption?
- Encryption is a mechanism which is different than a thing (as masking), encryption is a method for doing masking. What is comprable to masking is to make it unavailable---so, unless you have permission to see it (data), you can’t see it---you don’t have to encrypt something (i.e. data) to not see it, this can be accomplished through access control methods. (This is a security view per Mike’s claim)
Tony is looking for a definition for deduplicate currently has a temporary definition listed ( remove redundant copies of data) in a sense similiar to meaning how you can anonymize or deanonymize--as an inverse of practically anything. Anonymize and deanonyize are both intentional .
- According to world dictionary: deduplicate means to remove duplicated materials.
- Defintion: (sources needed)
