FullNMLookup

Based on Extensible Algorithm Framework

The FullNMLookup algorithm is an instance of the Secure Lookup Algorithm Framework.

Note

A new full name framework and a new full name algorithm instance was introduced in version 6.0.8.0 and are the preferred methods for masking full name values. See Full Name(framework) and FullName(instance) for more information.

This algorithm performs a lookup on the input value and returns a value from the provided lookup file. It is possible for this algorithm to produce the same output value for different input values. Inputs to this algorithm are case-sensitive so two inputs with the same value in different cases may mask to different values. Leading and trailing whitespaces are preserved by this algorithm.

The lookup values for this algorithm are full names (first & last name).

For example:

  • "Harry Potter" → "John Wick"
  • "joe" → "Carol Reed"
  • "Robert Downey Jr." → "Aaron Burr"
  • "Queen Elizabeth II" → "Ferris Bueller"
