Clean Pandas

Pandas accessor for replacing, removing, or encrypting a DataFrame or Series that contains Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or Protected Health Information (PHI)

Dependencies

• Faker
• Scrubadub
• cryptography

Installation

pip install clean_pandas

Clean Type Options

• encrypt (default) - Utilizes the cryptography library and uses Fernet (symmetric encryption)
  • NOTE: You must use the serialize_encryption_key before ending your REPL or program in order to decrypt
• faker - Utilizes the Faker library and requires user denote the Faker "fake" to use
• scrubadub - Utilizes the Scrubadub library to detect and replace PII
• truncate - Truncates the data by casting to a string, if possible, and recast to original type if possible. Returns None if truncation is longer than the value length. Returns the string value if cannot be cast back to original type

Basic Usage

>>> from clean_pandas import CleanPandas
>>> import pandas as pd

>>> test_df = pd.DataFrame({"first_name": ["Charles", "Stephen"], 
                            "last_name": ["Darwin", "Hawking"], 
                            "ssn": ["555-55-5555", "123-45-6789"]})

>>> result_df, encryption_key, dtype_dict = test_df.clean_pandas.encrypt('ssn')
>>> result_df['ssn']

Name: ssn, dtype: object

>>> test_df.clean_pandas.fake_it('last_name', faker_type='first_name')['last_name']
0     Joshua

Name: last_name, dtype: object

>>> test_df.clean_pandas.scrub_it('ssn')['ssn']
0    {{SSN}}
1    {{SSN}}
Name: ssn, dtype: object

>>> test_df.clean_pandas.truncate('ssn', trunc_length=7, trunc_from_end=False)['ssn']
0    5555
1    6789
Name: ssn, dtype: object


# Decrypt a series
>>> result_df, encryption_key, dtype_dict = test_df.clean_pandas.encrypt('ssn')  # encrypt
>>> test_df.some_id

1    b'gAAAAABblA1Sc_StggFPj0zmQLUVo0ADqHQtljUEGcr0...
Name: some_id, dtype: object

# Automatically casts back to original dtype with optional dtype argument
>>> result_df.clean_pandas.decrypt('some_id', encryption_key, dtype_dict)['some_id']
0    1
1    2
Name: some_id, dtype: int64
