When Simple PAN Detection is selected, InfoConnect matches a credit card number sequence (a 13- 16 digit number).
NOTE:The credit card character sequences can also include whitespace and hyphen characters as digit grouping separators.
Use Simple PAN Detection when your application meets all of the following conditions:
All of the credit card account numbers in your host applications are displayed and entered in a “contiguous” fashion. In other words, the PANs always appear or are always entered as a single continuous string (e.g. 1111-1111-1111-1111, 2222 2222 2222 2222, 444444444444444 etc.).
All of the account numbers that need to be redacted are from one or more of the following issuers: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Diner’s Club, Carte Blanche, Voyager, JCB, or enRoute.
NOTE:If data in your application are displayed or entered in a noncontiguous fashion or you need to detect other card issuers, use the Reflection PAN Detection option and enter additional custom patterns for those issuers in the Custom Detection Rules table, or use privacy filters to specify a custom pattern.
This method requires no additional configuration and should be suitable for most situations.
Although simple PAN Detection is easy to set up and use, it there are a few items to consider when using this method:
This method works only with the major credit card issuers noted above. (In some cases, privacy filters can be used in conjunction with this method to add additional issuers.)
It is possible to get false positives in entry fields where large numbers of digits are entered consecutively and where there are no non-digit separator characters delimiting the overall sequence of digits.
Use the Information Privacy dialog box to set up Simple PAN Redaction.
