ASCII Key (AsciiPkGenerator)

The ASCII Key generator can be applied to primary key columns. It generates unique alphanumeric strings based on any printable ASCII characters.

Link object structure

The ASCII Key generator can be configured to be self-consistent, but not consistent with another column. You cannot configure differential privacy.

The metadata object is populated from the BaseMetadata object.

There is no generator-specific configuration.

{
  "schema": "string",
  "table": "string",
  "column": "string",
  "dataType": "string",  //MongoDB only
  "metadata": {
    "presetId": "string",
    "generatorId": "AsciiPkGenerator",
    "excludeLowercaseAlphabet": boolean,
    "isConsistent": boolean,
    "encryptionProcessor": "x-on", //To use configured Structural data encryption
    "customValueProcessor": "string"   //If custom value processor applied
  }
}

Example replacement

In the following example replacement for the ASCII Key generator, consistency is disabled. The output values do not include lowercase letters.

{
  "name": "userid",
  "schema": "test",
  "table": "users",
  "links": [
    {
      "schema": "test",
      "table": "users",
      "column": "userid",
      "metadata": {
        "presetId": "AsciiPkGenerator",
        "generatorId": "AsciiPkGenerator",
        "excludeLowercaseAlphabet": true,
        "isConsistent": false
      }
    }
  ]
}
