Generic Shuffle
Purpose
This component masks data by randomly shuffling the values within a specified column (or columns) of a database table or file. While the individual values remain unchanged, their order is randomized. This preserves the original data set’s distribution and aggregate results (such as totals or averages), making it useful when the order of values is not important, but statistical consistency must be maintained. The component uses a generic shuffling algorithm. This method does not preserve referential integrity. Relationships between shuffled columns and other data (such as foreign keys) will be broken.
