Abstract
A method and system for anonymizing data to be transmitted to a destination computing device is disclosed. Anonymization strategy for data anonymization is provided. Data to be transmitted is received from a user computer. The data includes a plurality of numbers and defines a clear data in a first base encoding scheme, with one or more predefined characteristics. The clear data is converted to a modified clear data in a second base encoding scheme. The modified clear data is anonymized using an anonymization module, to derive an interim anonymized data in the second base encoding scheme. A converted interim anoymized data in the first base encoding scheme is designated as the anonymized data, if the converted interim anonymized data meets the predefined characteristics of the clear data. The anonymized data is transmitted to the destination computer over a network.
