Abstract:
Probabilistic surfacing of potentially sensitive identifiers is provided. In one embodiment of the present invention, a method of and computer program product for surfacing of potentially sensitive identifiers are provided. An input string is read. The input string has a length. The input string is divided into a plurality of tokens. Each of the tokens has a predetermined length. A score is determined for each of the plurality of tokens. A composite score is determined based on the scores of each of the plurality of tokens. Whether the input string comprises an identifier is determined by comparing the composite score to a predetermined threshold.
