  <p>
   MySQL Enterprise Data Masking and De-Identification is based on a plugin library that implements these
      elements:
  </p>
  <div class="itemizedlist">
   <ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
    <li class="listitem">
     <p>
      A server-side plugin named
      <code class="literal">
       data_masking
      </code>
      .
     </p>
    </li>
    <li class="listitem">
     <p>
      A set of loadable functions provides an SQL-level API for
          performing masking and de-identification operations. Some of
          these functions require the
      <a class="link" href="privileges-provided.html#priv_super">
       <code class="literal">
        SUPER
       </code>
      </a>
      privilege.
     </p>
    </li>
   </ul>
