Masking
Conceal using a character provided
Masking hides characters of a data value, e.g. by using a constant symbol (e.g. * or x). Masking is typically partial, i.e. applied only to some characters in the attribute.
FTA currently supports general Masking and special NRIC Masking (for NRIC entity types only).
