Method and system for generating phonetically similar masked data

A system (200) for generating a group of phonetically similar masked data;

• said system (200) comprising:
• a. a processor;
• b. a data bus coupled to said processor;
• c. a computer-usable medium embodying computer code, said computer-usable medium being coupled to said data bus, said computer program code comprising instructions executable by said processor and configured for executing:
• a standard metaphone generator module (202) adapted for preprocessing of input dataset values comprising a list of fictitious data values to be used as masked data;
• determining a plurality of groups of phonetically similar data values present in the dataset list;
• and deriving metaphone for each input data value to be masked;
• a first numeric code generation module (204) adapted for generating a first numeric code from derived metaphone value of input data value to be masked;
• a phonetically similar data values group selection module (206) adapted for selecting one group of phonetically similar data values out of the plurality of groups of phonetically similar data values based on the generated first numeric code;
• and
• a second numeric code generation module (208) adapted for generating a second numeric code from input data value for selecting a masked value from a plurality of fictitious data group.

One or more non-transitory machine readable information storage mediums comprising one or more instructions which when executed by one or more hardware processors causes the one or more hardware processor to perform a method for generating a group of phonetically similar masked data, said method comprising:

• a. preprocessing of input dataset values comprising a list of fictitious data values to be used as masked data;
• determining a plurality of groups of phonetically similar data values present in the dataset list;
• and deriving metaphone for each input data value to be masked, using a standard metaphone generator module (202);
• b. generating a first numeric code from derived metaphone value of input data value to be masked, using a first numeric code generation module (204);
• c. selecting one group of phonetically similar data values out of the plurality of groups of phonetically similar data values based on the generated first numeric code using a phonetically similar data values group selection module (206);
• and
• d. generating a second numeric code from input data value for selecting a masked value from a plurality of fictitious data group using a second numeric code generation module (208).
