A while ago [Wayback/Archive] Vladimir Gaevoy wrote a great blog post which I bumped into through his tweet [Wayback/Archive] “Blogged: .NET type for personally identifiable information (PII). Working with PII with the help of .NET String is painful. Let’s see the benefits of PiiString as explicit .NET type instead of .NET String #pii #dotnet #gdpr #security “
The tweet does not fully do justice to his blog post [Wayback/Archive] .NET type for personally identifiable information (PII), as the post not only discusses the background (GDPR and other requirements, for instance the [Wayback/Archive] GDPR compliance checklist – GDPR.eu) and the class, but also with examples how to use it for:
- conversion to/from user interface plain text
- hashing to pseudonymized/anonymized form
- encryption for more secure storage
In addition, more examples cover JSON, Entity Framework, [Wayback/Archive] NLog, and [Wayback/Archive] Serilog — simple .NET logging with fully-structured events.
