<abstract>This component will read an input CSV file and anonymize specified column(s). This component differs from the <b>AnonymizeStandalone</b> component in that it will keep a version of the input file on the server. As such, the output, with anonymized data, is then available for use in downstream components.</abstract>

<abstract>The <b>Anonymize Standalone</b> component will anonymize a column of identifiable data in a CSV file without saving it to the LearnSphere server. All data operations are performed in your browser to fulfill IRB requirements. <br/>
13+
It uses a hash function and a salt to maintain an irreversible anonymization scheme. For example, "Jane Doe" in file1.csv would have the same anonymous identifier as "Jane Doe" in file2.csv given that the component used the same salt.</abstract>
