System and method for generating synthetic data

A method comprising:

• receiving a request to generate synthetic data based on real-world data stored in a first memory, wherein the synthetic data at least partially mimics the real-world data;
• in response to receiving the request, accessing the first memory to extract at least a portion of the real-world data, wherein the extracted portion of the real-world data is to be used as sample data for generating the synthetic data;
• determining data properties of the real-world data based on the sample data extracted from the first memory;
• generating, based on the data properties of the real-world data, the requested synthetic data that at least partially mimics the real-world data stored in the first memory, wherein the data properties associated with the synthetic data at least partially match the data properties associated with the real-world data;
• detecting a request from an unauthorized user to access the real-world data in the first memory;
• and
• in response to detecting the request to access the real-world data, providing the unauthorized user access to the synthetic data that mimics the real-world data;
• wherein the method further comprises generating the synthetic data by:
• obtaining a second piece of data, wherein the second piece of data comprises one or more of a second piece of real-world data or a second piece of synthetic data;
• inputting the real-world data and the second piece of data into a data tumbler, wherein the data tumbler is a software program configured to generate the synthetic data by mixing different pieces of data;
• and
• obtaining the synthetic data as an output of the data tumbler.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

• receive a request to generate synthetic data based on real-world data stored in a first memory, wherein the synthetic data at least partially mimics the real-world data;
• in response to receiving the request, access the first memory to extract at least a portion of the real-world data, wherein the extracted portion of the real-world data is to be used as sample data for generating the synthetic data;
• determine data properties of the real-world data based on the sample data extracted from the first memory;
• generate, based on the data properties of the real-world data, the requested synthetic data that at least partially mimics the real-world data stored in the first memory, wherein the data properties associated with the synthetic data at least partially match the data properties associated with the real-world data;
• detect a request from an unauthorized user to access the real-world data in the first memory;
• and
• in response to detecting the request to access the real-world data, provide the unauthorized user access to the synthetic data that mimics the real-world data;
• wherein generating the synthetic data comprises:
• obtaining a second piece of data, wherein the second piece of data comprises one or more of a second piece of real-world data or a second piece of synthetic data;
• inputting the real-world data and the second piece of data into a data tumbler, wherein the data tumbler is a software program configured to generate the synthetic data by mixing different pieces of data;
• and
• obtaining the synthetic data as an output of the data tumbler.
