Abstract

In this work, hash functions are analysed as a pseudonymisation technique as it is proposed by AEPD. Hash functions are described and some of the most popular algorithms are also indicated. The re-identification risk is introduced and the strategies to avoid it, described by AEPD, are compared. As a conclusion, hash functions are a suitable technique for anonymization providing that the correct design of the function and data input as well as the management of the associated processes are conveniently carried out.
