Abstract

Methods and systems for tracking masking of one or more data elements in a datastore are disclosed. The methods involve monitoring one or more masking operations on the one or more data elements in the datastore. Thereafter, one or more metadata associated with the one or more masking operations are identified. Subsequent to identifying the one or more metadata, at least a part of the one or more metadata may be recorded. This metadata may then be transmitted to the destination when a copy (full/partial) of the original data is made, enabling the same information on masking to be obtained at the destination, as at the source.
