Home address detection

[hsalaam]

It is important to identify and manage personal identifiable information (PII) . In this issue, I will concentrate on identifying and safeguarding the Home address as the PII. A person's home address is information that can be used for identity theft and other fraudulent acts. Everyone should include safeguards out applications to recognize and protect this kind of PII.

For example: xxxx Cooper lane, city name, state, zip code.

Detection Steps: Python code will be developed which will compare two strings for an exact match. This code will check to if the address in string1 matches the address of string2. If the results matches the program will output true; If the the results do not match then the output will be false.

Will all parts of an address need to be present or will you attempt to detect xxx Cooper Lane, zip code?

All parts of the email will be present including the city, state and zip code

Well, I don't agree. Since the Zip code tells you the city and state just having the street address and zip could would be PII

Maybe you could include a hierarchy of the parts based on how much information it gives? First check for ZIP code, since this is easily identifiable as it is a 5 digit code, and it gives a lot of location information.
