+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
68
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
69
|
+
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

|
70

+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,

worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable

by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
|
|
80
|
+
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)

|
83
|
+
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
|
|
84
|
+
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
|
|
85
|
+
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|
86
|
+
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
|
|
87
|
+
as of the date such litigation is filed.
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the

|
90
|
+
Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
|
|
91
|
+
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
|
|
92
|
+
meet the following conditions:
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
|
|
95
|
+
Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
|
|
96
|
+
|
|
97
|
+
(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices

99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
|
|
101
|
+
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
|
|
102
|
+
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
|
|
103
|
+
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
|
|
104
|
+
the Derivative Works; and
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
(d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
|
|
107
|
+
distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
|
|
108
|
+
include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
|
|
109
|
+
within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
|
|
110
|
+
pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
|
|
111
|
+
of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
|
|
112
|
+
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
|
|
113
|
+
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
|
|
114
|
+
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
|
|
115
|
+
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
|
|
116
|
+
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
|
|
117
|
+
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution

notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside

|
119
|
+
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
|
|
120
|
+
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
|
|
121
|
+
as modifying the License.
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
|
|
124

+
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
|
|
125
|
+
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
|
|
126
|
+
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
|
|
127
|
+
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
|
|
128
|
+
the conditions stated in this License.
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
|
|
131
|
+
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
|
|
132
|
+
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
|
|
133
|
+
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
|
134
|
+
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
|
|
135
|
+
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
|
|
136
|
+
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
139
|
+
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
|
|
140
|
+
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
|
|
141
|
+
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
|
|
144
|
+
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
|
|
145
|
+
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
|
|
146
|
+
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
|
|
147
|
+
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
|
|
148
|
+
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
|
|
149
|
+
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
|
|
150
|
+
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
|
|
151
|
+
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
|
|
154
|
+
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
|
155
|
+
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
|
|
156
|
+
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
|
157
|
+
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
|
|
158
|
+
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
|
159
|
+
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
|
|
160
|
+
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
|
|
161
|
+
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
|
|
162
|
+
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|
|
163
|
+
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
|
|
166
|
+
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
|
|
167
|
+
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
|
|
168
|
+
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
|
|
169
|
+
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
|
|
170
|
+
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
|
|
171
|
+
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
|
|
172
|
+
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
|
|
173
|
+
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
|
|
174
|
+
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

## Why
|
|
58
|
+
|
|
59
|
+
You want a frontier cloud model to analyze sensitive notes — but you don't want
|
|
60
|
+
the cloud to learn *who* they're about. Masking only the names you already know
|
|
61
|
+
leaks everything you don't: an unregistered name, an employer, a city + a rare
|
|
62
|
+
title, a project codename. Pattern-based redaction never sees those at all.
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
`vault-engine` puts a **local model** in front as the detector, so the semantic
|
|
65
|
+
identifiers get caught too — and nothing but the sanitized text ever leaves.
|
|
66
|
+
|
|
67
|
+
## How it works
|
|
68
|
+
|
|

## Benchmark
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
How much identity each detector actually catches, on a labelled bilingual
|
|
92
|
+
dataset (reproduce with `python eval/run_eval.py`; methodology in
|
|
93
|
+
[`eval/`](eval/README.md)):
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
<!-- BENCHMARK:START -->
|
|
96
|
+
77 gold identities across 15 bilingual documents — easy PII plus hard cases
|
|
97
|
+
(ambiguous common-word names, abbreviations, transliterations, @handles, a badge
|
|
98
|
+
number, a license plate). Reproduce:
|
|
99
|
+
`python eval/run_eval.py --provider ollama --with-presidio`.

> ⚠️ A **small synthetic set** for regression testing and rough comparison —
|
|
102

|

106
|
+
| detector | person | org | location | project | contact | id | **overall** | over-redaction |
|
|

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
108
|
+
| regex only | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% | 69% | 33% | **13%** | 0% |
|
|
109
|
+
| Microsoft Presidio (en/zh `lg`) | 78% | 59% | 80% | 33% | 38% | 0% | **61%** | 4% |

|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
Same set where Presidio's NER scores 61%, the local LLM clears 100% — gap widest
|
|
113
|
+
on codenames, @handles, IDs, and Chinese names/orgs. Trade-off is speed: Presidio
|
|
114
|
+
~6s, the LLM ~25s/doc.
|
|
115
|
+
<!-- BENCHMARK:END -->
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
The point isn't a leaderboard — it's the **shape**: pattern-only redaction can't
|
|
118
|
+
see names, organizations, locations, or codenames at all; a local LLM can.
|
|
119
|
+
|
|
120
|
+
## Install
|
|
121
|
+
|
|
122
|
+
```bash
|
|
123
|
+
pip install vault-engine
|
|
124
|
+
```
|
|
125
|
+
|
|
126
|
+
Or get the latest straight from source:
|
|
127
|
+
|
|
128
|
+
```bash
|
|
129
|
+
pip install git+https://github.com/fishonbike/vault-engine
|
|
130
|
+
```
|
|
131
|
+
|
|
132
|
+
For the default local backend, install [Ollama](https://ollama.com) and pull a
|
|
133
|
+
model:
|
|
134
|
+
|
|
135
|
+
```bash
|
|
136
|
+
ollama pull qwen3.6:27b
|
|
137
|
+
```
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
No model yet? The deterministic floor (emails, phones, IDs, cards, URLs) works
|
|
140
|
+
with zero setup via `--no-llm`.
|
|
141
|
+
|
|
142
|
+
## Quickstart
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
```bash
|
|
145
|
+
vault-engine scrub notes.txt -o notes.safe.txt
|
|
146
|
+
```
|
|
147
|
+
|
|
148
|
+
That writes `notes.safe.txt` (send this to the cloud) and
|
|
149
|
+
`notes.safe.txt.map.json` (**local only** — the identities). Paste the sanitized
|
|
150
|
+
text into your model, save its reply, then restore the real identities:
|
|
151
|
+
|
|
152
|
+
```bash
|
|
153
|
+
vault-engine rehydrate reply.json --map notes.safe.txt.map.json -o reply.real.json
|
|
154
|
+
```
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
### The clipboard one-liner
|
|
157
|
+
|
|
158
|
+
The fastest path — scrub whatever you're about to paste into a chatbot, in place:
|
|
159
|
+
|
|
160
|
+
```bash
|
|
161
|
+
vault-engine clip # de-identifies the clipboard
|
|
162
|
+
# …paste into ChatGPT/Claude, copy its reply, then:
|
|
163
|
+
vault-engine clip --rehydrate # restores the real identities in the clipboard
|
|
164
|
+
```
|
|
165
|
+
|
|
166
|
+
Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux (with `xclip`/`xsel`/`wl-clipboard`).
|
|
167
|
+
|
|
168
|
+
Library:
|
|
169
|
+
|
|
170
|
+
```python
|
|
171
|
+
from vaultengine import deidentify, rehydrate, Config
|
|
172
|
+
|
|
173
|
+
result = deidentify(open("notes.txt").read(), Config(model="qwen3.6:27b"))
|
|
174
|
+
send_to_cloud(result.text) # tokens only
|
|
175
|
+
restored = rehydrate(get_cloud_reply(), result.vault) # real identities, locally
|
|
176
|
+
result.vault.save("notes.map.json") # the reverse map — keep it local
|
|
177
|
+
```
|
|
178
|
+
|
|
179
|
+
## Use cases
|
|
180
|
+
|
|
181
|
+
- **Pseudonymize before pasting into ChatGPT/Claude** — analyze private notes,
|
|
182
|
+
contracts, or chats with direct identifiers stripped.
|
|
183
|
+
- **Redact logs & support tickets** before sharing them or feeding an LLM.
|
|
184
|
+
- **Anonymize a dataset** for LLM-assisted analysis, then map results back.
|
|
185
|
+
- **Air-gapped review loops** — a model on a locked-down box only ever sees
|
|
186
|
+
tokens.
|
|
187
|
+
|
|
188
|
+
## How it compares
|
|
189
|
+
|
|
190
|
+
Presidio and LLM Guard are excellent, mature tools. vault-engine's bet is
|
|
191
|
+
different: a **local LLM** as the detector catches semantic/quasi-identifiers
|
|
192
|
+
that label-based NER misses, with **zero runtime deps** and first-class Chinese.
|
|
193
|
+
|
|
194
|
+
| | **vault-engine** | Presidio | LLM Guard (Anonymize) | regex / scrubadub |
|
|
195
|
+
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
196
|
+
| Detection | local LLM + regex | NER (spaCy) + regex | NER / transformers | patterns only |
|
|
197
|
+
| Unregistered names / orgs / quasi-IDs | ✅ LLM | ⚠️ NER labels only | ⚠️ NER-limited | ❌ |
|
|
198
|
+
| Reversible round-trip | ✅ local map | ✅ deanonymizer | ✅ Vault | ❌ |
|
|
199
|
+
| Fully local / offline | ✅ Ollama | ✅ | ⚠️ varies | ✅ |
|
|
200
|
+
| Runtime dependencies | **none (stdlib)** | spaCy + models | several | varies |
|
|
201
|
+
| Chinese (中文) | ✅ strong | ⚠️ needs model | ⚠️ | ❌ |
|
|
202
|
+
| Swap the model | ✅ one line | — | partial | — |
|
|
203
|
+
| Fail-loud if detector errors | ✅ degrades + non-zero exit | — | — | — |
|
|
204
|
+
|
|
205
|
+
## Redaction policy (privacy ↔ utility)
|
|
206
|
+
|
|
207
|
+
| `--policy` | Persons | Orgs / places / roles | Dates | Token shape |
|
|
208
|
+
|-------------|---------|-----------------------|-------|-------------|
|
|
209
|
+
| `balanced` *(default)* | ✅ | ✅ typed (`ORG_1`, `LOC_2`) | kept | typed |
|
|
210
|
+
| `max` | ✅ | ✅ opaque `R_1` (type hidden) | coarsened | opaque |
|
|
211
|
+
| `light` | ✅ | left in place | kept | typed |
|
|
212
|
+
|
|
213
|
+
`balanced` keeps coarse structure — the cloud still reads "`ORG_1` hired `P-n2`
|
|
214
|
+
as `ROLE_1` in `LOC_1`" and can reason about it, while no real identity ships.
|
|
215
|
+
**Persons are tokenized in every policy.**
|
|
216
|
+
|
|
217
|
+
## Swap the model
|
|
218
|
+
|
|
219
|
+
```bash
|
|
220
|
+
vault-engine models # list local Ollama tags
|
|
221
|
+
vault-engine scrub notes.txt --model qwen3.6:35b-a3b # any local model
|
|
222
|
+
vault-engine scrub notes.txt --provider null # offline, regex only
|
|
223
|
+
```
|
|
224
|
+
|
|
225
|
+
Built-in providers: `ollama` (default), `openai-compat` (any OpenAI-style
|
|
226
|
+
endpoint — opt-in; ⚠️ sends raw text to that endpoint), `null` (offline). Add
|
|
227
|
+
your own by implementing one method (`complete`) and registering it.
|
|
228
|
+
|
|
229
|
+
## ⚠️ Security model — read this
|
|
230
|
+
|
|
231
|
+
- **The reverse map (`*.map.json`) *is* the identity.** It's the only thing that
|
|
232
|
+
links tokens back to real people. Keep it local. Never send it to a cloud
|
|
233
|
+
model, never commit it — `.gitignore` excludes `*.map.json` and the CLI warns
|
|
234
|
+
every run. Use `--one-way` to produce no map (irreversible publish).
|
|
235
|
+
- **Detection stays local by default.** Only the sanitized text is meant to
|
|
236
|
+
leave, and only when you send it.
|
|
237
|
+
|
|
238
|
+
## Threat model & limitations (honest)
|
|
239
|
+
|
|
240
|
+
- LLM detection is **best-effort, not a guarantee** of non-identifiability — a
|
|
241
|
+
model can miss a name or a rare quasi-identifier. It is **not** k-anonymity or
|
|
242
|
+
differential privacy.
|
|
243
|
+
- The critic pass and the risk report reduce and surface residual risk; they
|
|
244
|
+
don't certify its absence. Writing style and domain-unique facts can still
|
|
245
|
+
identify with names removed — use `max` for higher-stakes material.
|
|
246
|
+
- If the model backend is unreachable, the run **degrades to regex-only and
|
|
247
|
+
exits non-zero** (`--allow-degraded` to override) — it will never silently ship
|
|
248
|
+
under-redacted text.
|
|
249
|
+
|
|
250
|
+
## Protecting code & schemas (`--format markdown`)
|
|
251
|
+
|
|
252
|
+
With `--format markdown` (or `auto`, which switches on at a fenced block),
|
|
253
|
+
anything inside fenced code blocks is preserved verbatim — a JSON reply-schema or
|
|
254
|
+
code sample you include for the model survives untouched while the prose around
|
|
255
|
+
it is scrubbed. Pre-existing placeholder tokens (e.g. `P-7`) pass through
|
|
256
|
+
unchanged.
|
|
257
|
+
|
|
258
|
+
## Development
|
|
259
|
+
|
|
260
|
+
```bash
|
|
261
|
+
python -m unittest discover -t . -s tests -v # 59 tests, offline, no model
|
|
262
|
+
python eval/run_eval.py --provider ollama # reproduce the benchmark
|
|
263
|
+
```
|
|
264
|
+
|
|
265
|
+
Fully offline and deterministic (null/fake providers); every fixture is
|
|
266
|
+
synthetic — no real data lives in this repo.
