Anonymization consists of three steps:

• Classification - scans the database to identify potentially sensitive information, and produces a classification file.
• Mapping - Converts the classifications into a set of masking rules in a masking file.
• Masking - Applies the masking rules in the masking file to the database, anonymizing the data.

Each step is ran separately using the rganonymize command line with the corresponding arguments. Each step can take an options file:

These options files control how each steps works, and enables you to customize many aspects of the step.
