Every Austria detector in detail
IBAN
A bank account identifier. Validation: the registered length for the country and the ISO 13616 modulus 97 check. Valid example: AT61 1904 3002 3457 3201; the same shape that fails is AT61 1904 3002 3457 3200.
Passport / ID card number
An identity document number. Validation: the pattern only, with no checksum or structural validator. It needs one of 11 keywords within 48 characters before the value, such as ausweisnummer, document number, id card, id no. Valid example: P1234567.
Licence plate
A vehicle licence plate. Validation: 4 to 10 letters and digits with at least one of each, shaped by the country's plate formats. It needs one of 20 keywords within 48 characters before the value, such as amtliches kennzeichen, autokennzeichen, kennzeichen, kfz-kennzeichen. Valid example: W 12345 X.
Phone number
A telephone number in the national format. Validation: between 7 and 15 digits, the range an international number can have. Valid example: +43 1 234 5678.
Postal code
A postal code, which identifies a place rather than a person on its own. Validation: the pattern only, with no checksum or structural validator. It needs one of 8 keywords within 48 characters before the value, such as plz, post code, postal code, postcode. Valid example: 1010.
Social insurance number (SVNR)
A social security or social insurance number. Validation: a weighted modulus 11 check digit in fourth position. A run of digits with no separator is judged by words nearby; the detector's own keywords include social insurance, social security, sozialversicherungsnummer, ssn. Valid example: 1237 010180; the same shape that fails is 1237 010181. Full guide: Austrian social insurance number (SVNR).

How Maskflare masks Austria identifiers
Detections are replaced with a token such as mf_mask_d7e0 before the request goes to the AI provider, and with response restoration turned on the real value is put back in the answer. The other actions are redact, partial, hash, format-preserving encryption, generalize, alert and block.
- Protect now, Finance - Protect now, Healthcare and Developer: mask (a reversible token) when Austria is a primary country.
- Monitor first: alert (counted, forwarded unchanged) when Austria is a primary country.
Compliance profiles that include the Austria pack: GDPR - EU/EEA.
Limits worth knowing
- A passing checksum shows that a value is well formed, not that it was issued to a real person. The examples on this page pass for that reason and are not real.
- 2 of the 6 detectors here match on pattern alone (Passport / ID card number and Postal code), so they can match text that merely has the same shape.
- Detectors read the text of the request. A value inside an image is found only after OCR, and a value split across lines is not one match.
- Names, addresses and free-text details are handled by other packs. This page is limited to the Austria identifiers.
