## What is ZeroPhix?

**ZeroPhix** is an enterprise-grade tool for detecting and redacting sensitive information from text, documents, and data streams.

### Detects & Redacts
- **PII** (Personally Identifiable Information) - names, addresses, emails, phone numbers
- **PHI** (Protected Health Information) - medical records, patient data, health identifiers  
- **PSI** (Personal Sensitive Information) - financial data, credentials, government IDs
- **Custom Data** - proprietary identifiers, internal codes, API keys

### Name Origin
- **Zero** = eliminate, remove, redact
- **Phi** = from PHI (Protected Health Information)
- **x** = extensible to PII, PSI, and any sensitive data types

## Why Choose ZeroPhix?

| Feature | Benefit |
|---------|---------|
| **High Accuracy** | ML models + regex patterns = high Precision/Recall |
| **Fast Processing** | Smart caching + async = infra dependent |
| **Self-Hosted** | No per-document API fees, requires infrastructure and maintenance |
| **Fully Offline** | Air-gapped after one-time model setup |
| **Multi-Country** | Australia, US, EU, UK, Canada + extensible |
| **100+ Entity Types** | SSN, credit cards, medical IDs, passports, etc. |

## Quick Start


### Installation

**Install directly from PyPI:**

```bash
pip install zerophix
```

Or use extras for full features:


```bash
# With all features (recommended)
pip install "zerophix[all]"

# Or select specific features
pip install "zerophix[gliner,documents,api]"

# For DataFrame support
pip install "zerophix[all]" pandas  # For Pandas
pip install "zerophix[all]" pyspark  # For PySpark
```

### One-Time Model Setup (Optional)

ZeroPhix works **100% offline** after initial setup. ML models are downloaded once and cached locally:

```bash
# spaCy models (optional - for enhanced NER)
python -m spacy download en_core_web_lg

# Other ML models auto-download on first use and cache locally
# After initial download, no internet required - fully air-gapped
```

**Offline Modes:**
- **Regex-only**: Works immediately, no downloads, 100% offline from install
- **With ML models**: One-time download, then 100% offline forever
- **Air-gapped environments**: Pre-download models, transfer via USB/network

### Supported Input Types

ZeroPhix handles all common data formats:

```python
# 1. Single String
result = pipeline.redact("John Smith, SSN: 123-45-6789")

# 2. List of Strings (Batch)
texts = ["text 1 with PII", "text 2 with PHI", "text 3"]
results = pipeline.redact_batch(texts)

# 3. Pandas DataFrame
from zerophix.processors import redact_pandas
df_clean = redact_pandas(df, columns=['name', 'email', 'ssn'], country='US')

# 4. PySpark DataFrame
from zerophix.processors import redact_spark
spark_df_clean = redact_spark(spark_df, columns=['patient_name', 'mrn'], country='US')

# 5. Files (PDF, DOCX, Excel)
from zerophix.processors import PDFProcessor
PDFProcessor().redact_file('input.pdf', 'output.pdf', pipeline)

# 6. Scanning (detect without redacting)
scan_result = pipeline.scan(text)  # Returns entities found
```

**Quick Test:**
```bash
# Test all interfaces
python examples/test_all_interfaces.py

# Comprehensive examples
python examples/all_interfaces_demo.py
```

### Australian Coverage Highlights

ZeroPhix has **deep Australian coverage** with mathematical checksum validation:

- **40+ Australian entity types** (TFN, ABN, ACN, Medicare, driver licenses for all 8 states)
- **Checksum validation** for government IDs (TFN mod 11, ABN mod 89, ACN mod 10, Medicare mod 10)
- **92%+ precision** for Australian government identifiers
- State-specific patterns (NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS, NT, ACT)
- Healthcare, financial, and government identifiers

See [AUSTRALIAN_COVERAGE.md](AUSTRALIAN_COVERAGE.md) for complete details.

### Command Line

```bash
# Redact text
zerophix redact --text "Sensitive information here"

# Redact files
zerophix redact-file --input document.pdf --output clean.pdf

# Start API server
python -m zerophix.api.rest
```

## Redaction Strategies

ZeroPhix supports multiple redaction strategies to balance privacy and data utility:

| Strategy | Description | Example | Use Case |
|----------|-------------|---------|----------|
| **replace** | Full replacement with entity type | `<SSN>` or `<AU_TFN>` | Maximum privacy, clear labeling |
| **mask** | Partial masking | `29****3456` or `***-**-6789` | Data utility + privacy balance |
| **hash** | Consistent hashing | `HASH_A1B2C3D4` | Record linking, de-duplication |
| **encrypt** | Reversible encryption | `ENC_XYZ123` | Secure storage, de-anonymization |
| **brackets** / **redact** | Simple [REDACTED] | `[REDACTED]` | Document redaction, printouts |
| **synthetic** | Realistic fake data | `Alex Smith` / `555-1234` | Testing, demos, data sharing |
| **preserve_format** | Format-preserving | `K8d-2L-m9P3` (for SSN) | Schema compatibility |
| **au_phone** | Keep AU area code | `04XX-XXX-XXX` | Australian context preservation |
| **differential_privacy** | Statistical noise | Original ± noise | Research, analytics |
| **k_anonymity** | Generalization | `<30` (age) / `20XX` (postcode) | Privacy-preserving analytics |

**Usage:**
```python
# Choose your strategy
config = RedactionConfig(
    country="AU",
    masking_style="hash"  # or: replace, mask, encrypt, synthetic, etc.
)
pipeline = RedactionPipeline(config)
result = pipeline.redact(text)

# Strategy-specific options
config = RedactionConfig(
    masking_style="mask",
    mask_percentage=0.7,  # Mask 70% of characters
    preserve_format=True
)
```

## Core Features

### 1. Detection Methods

#### Regex Patterns (Ultra-fast, highest precision)
- Country-specific patterns for each jurisdiction
- Format validation with checksum verification
- Covers SSN, credit cards, IDs, medical numbers

#### Machine Learning Models

**spaCy NER** - Fast, high recall for names and entities
```python
config = RedactionConfig(use_spacy=True, spacy_model="en_core_web_lg")
```

**BERT** - Highest accuracy for complex text
```python
config = RedactionConfig(use_bert=True, bert_model="bert-base-cased")
```

**OpenMed** - Healthcare-specialized PHI detection
```python
config = RedactionConfig(use_openmed=True, openmed_model="openmed-base")
```

**GLiNER** - Zero-shot detection
```python
from zerophix.detectors.gliner_detector import GLiNERDetector

```

## Choosing the Right Configuration

### Decision Tree: What Should You Use?

**The best configuration is always empirical** - it depends on your specific use case, data characteristics, accuracy requirements, and performance constraints. We strongly recommend testing multiple configurations on your actual data to determine what works best.

#### Quick Decision Guide

```
START HERE
│
├─ Need MAXIMUM SPEED (real-time, high-volume)?
│  └─ Use: mode='fast' (regex only)
│     - High Speed
│     - High precision on structured IDs
│     - Best for: emails, phones, SSN, TFN, ABN, credit cards
│     - May miss: names in unstructured text, context-dependent entities
│
├─ Need MAXIMUM ACCURACY (compliance-critical)?
│  └─ Use: mode='accurate' (regex + all ML models)
│     - High recall (catches more PII)
│     - Best for: healthcare PHI, legal discovery, GDPR compliance
│     - Slower
│     - Higher memory: 500MB-2GB
│
├─ Structured data ONLY (CSV, forms, databases)?
│  └─ Use: mode='fast' with validation
│     - Checksum validation for TFN/ABN/Medicare
│     - Format-specific patterns
│     - Near-perfect precision
│
├─ Unstructured text (emails, documents, notes)?
│  └─ Use: mode='accurate' OR custom ensemble
│     - Combines regex + spaCy + BERT/GLiNER
│     - Catches names, context-dependent entities
│     - Better recall on varied text
│
├─ Healthcare/Medical data?
│  └─ Use: mode='accurate' + use_openmed=True
│     - PHI-optimized models
│     - Medical terminology awareness
│     - HIPAA compliance focus (87.5% recall benchmark)
│
├─ Custom entity types (not standard PII)?
│  └─ Use: GLiNER with custom labels
│     - Zero-shot detection - no training needed
│     - Just name what you want: "employee ID", "project code"
│     - Works on domain-specific identifiers
│
└─ Not sure? Testing multiple datasets?
   └─ Use: mode='auto'
      - Intelligently selects detectors per document
      - Good starting point
      - Then benchmark and tune based on your results
```

### Configuration Examples by Use Case

**High-Volume Transaction Processing:**
```python
config = RedactionConfig(
    mode='fast',
    use_spacy=False,
    use_bert=False,
    enable_checksum_validation=True  # TFN/ABN validation
)
# Prioritizes: Speed, low memory, structured data
```

**Healthcare Records (HIPAA Compliance):**
```python
config = RedactionConfig(
    mode='accurate',
    use_spacy=True,
    use_openmed=True,
    use_bert=True,
    recall_threshold=0.85  # Prioritize not missing PHI
)
# Prioritizes: High recall, medical PHI, compliance
```

**Legal Document Review:**
```python
config = RedactionConfig(
    mode='accurate',
    use_spacy=True,
    use_bert=True,
    use_gliner=True,
    precision_threshold=0.90  # Reduce false positives
)
# Prioritizes: Accuracy, names, case numbers, dates
```

**Customer Support Logs (Mixed Content):**
```python
config = RedactionConfig(
    mode='balanced',  # Medium speed + accuracy
    use_spacy=True,
    use_bert=False,  # Skip if speed matters
    batch_size=100
)
# Prioritizes: Balanced speed/accuracy, emails, phones, names
```

### Testing Recommendations

**Always benchmark on YOUR data:**

1. **Start with 'auto' mode** - Get baseline performance
2. **Test 'fast' mode** - Measure speed vs accuracy trade-off
3. **Test 'accurate' mode** - Measure recall improvement
4. **Try custom combinations** - Enable/disable specific detectors
5. **Measure what matters to YOU:**
   - False negatives (missed PII) → Increase recall threshold, add more detectors
   - False positives (over-redaction) → Increase precision threshold, tune regex patterns
   - Speed (docs/sec) → Disable slower ML models, use batch processing
   - Memory usage → Lazy-load models, reduce batch size

**Sample Evaluation Script:**
```python
from zerophix.eval.metrics import evaluate_detection

configs = [
    {'mode': 'fast'},
    {'mode': 'balanced'},
    {'mode': 'accurate'},
    {'mode': 'accurate', 'use_openmed': True}  # If healthcare data
]

for cfg in configs:
    pipeline = RedactionPipeline(RedactionConfig(**cfg))
    metrics = evaluate_detection(pipeline, your_test_data)
    print(f"{cfg}: Precision={metrics['precision']:.2f}, Recall={metrics['recall']:.2f}")
```

**Key Takeaway:** There is no one-size-fits-all configuration. The "best" setup depends on your data type, accuracy requirements, speed constraints, and compliance needs. Empirical testing is essential.

## Adaptive Ensemble - Auto-Configuration

**Problem:** Manual trial-and-error configuration with unpredictable accuracy  
**Solution:** Automatic calibration learns optimal detector weights from your data

### Quick Start

```python
from zerophix.config import RedactionConfig
from zerophix.pipelines.redaction import RedactionPipeline

# 1. Enable adaptive features
config = RedactionConfig(
    country="AU",
    use_gliner=True,
    use_openmed=True,
    enable_adaptive_weights=True,       # Auto-learns optimal weights
    enable_label_normalization=True,    # Fixes cross-detector consensus
)

pipeline = RedactionPipeline(config)

# 2. Calibrate on 20-50 labeled samples
validation_texts = ["John Smith has diabetes", "Call 555-1234", ...]
validation_ground_truth = [
    [(0, 10, "PERSON_NAME"), (15, 23, "DISEASE")],  # (start, end, label)
    [(5, 13, "PHONE_NUMBER")],
    # ...
]

results = pipeline.calibrate(
    validation_texts, 
    validation_ground_truth,
    save_path="calibration.json"  # Save for reuse
)

print(f"Optimized weights: {results['detector_weights']}")
# Output: {'gliner': 0.42, 'regex': 0.09, 'openmed': 0.12, 'spacy': 0.25}

# 3. Pipeline now has optimal weights! Use normally
result = pipeline.redact("Jane Doe, Medicare 2234 56781 2")
```

### Key Features

- **Adaptive Detector Weights**: Automatically adjusts weights based on F1 scores (F1²)
- **Label Normalization**: Normalizes labels BEFORE voting so "PERSON" (GLiNER) and "USERNAME" (regex) can vote together
- **One-Time Calibration**: Run once on 20-50 samples, save results, reuse forever
- **Performance Tracking**: Track detector metrics during operation
- **Save/Load**: Save calibration to JSON, load in production



### How It Works

```python
# Weight calculation (F1-squared method)
weight = max(0.1, detector_f1 ** 2)

# Example:
# GLiNER: F1=0.60 → weight=0.36 (High performer)
# Regex:  F1=0.30 → weight=0.09 (Noisy)
# OpenMed: F1=0.10 → weight=0.10 (Poor, floor applied)
```

### Production Usage

```python
# Load pre-calibrated weights
config = RedactionConfig(
    country="AU",
    use_gliner=True,
    enable_adaptive_weights=True,
    calibration_file="calibration.json"  # Load saved weights
)

pipeline = RedactionPipeline(config)
# Ready to use with optimal weights!
```

### One-Function Calibration (For Notebooks)

```python
# Copy-paste into your benchmark notebook
from examples.quick_calibrate import quick_calibrate_zerophix

pipeline, results = quick_calibrate_zerophix(test_samples, num_calibration_samples=20)
# Done! Pipeline has optimal weights learned from your data
```

### Benefits

- **Less trial-and-error** - Configure once, use everywhere  
- **Expected better precision** - Fewer false positives  
- **Higher F1** - Better overall accuracy  
- **Fast calibration** - 2-5 seconds for 20 samples  
- **100% backward compatible** - Opt-in via config flag

See [examples/adaptive_ensemble_examples.py](examples/adaptive_ensemble_examples.py) for complete examples.

pip download zerophix[all] -d ./zerophix-offline/
python -m spacy download en_core_web_lg --download-dir ./zerophix-offline/

# Download ML models to local cache
python -c "
from zerophix.detectors.bert_detector import BERTDetector
from zerophix.detectors.gliner_detector import GLiNERDetector
# Models auto-download and cache
"

# Copy cache directory
cp -r ~/.cache/zerophix ./zerophix-offline/cache/
cp -r ~/.cache/huggingface ./zerophix-offline/cache/
```

**On air-gapped machine:**
```bash
# Transfer folder via USB/secure network
# Install from local packages
pip install --no-index --find-links=./zerophix-offline/ zerophix[all]

# Restore cache
cp -r ./zerophix-offline/cache/zerophix ~/.cache/
cp -r ./zerophix-offline/cache/huggingface ~/.cache/

# Now 100% offline - no internet required
```

## Performance

### Optimization Features

ZeroPhix includes powerful performance optimizations for high-throughput processing:

#### 1. Model Caching (10-50x Speedup)
Models load once and cache globally - no repeated loading overhead:

```python
from zerophix.pipelines.redaction import RedactionPipeline
from zerophix.config import RedactionConfig

# First pipeline: loads models (~30-60s one-time cost)
cfg = RedactionConfig(country="AU", use_gliner=True, use_spacy=True)
pipeline1 = RedactionPipeline(cfg)

# Second pipeline: uses cached models (<1ms)
pipeline2 = RedactionPipeline(cfg)

# Models are cached automatically - no configuration needed!
```

#### 2. Batch Processing (4-8x Speedup)
Process multiple documents in parallel:

```python
from zerophix.performance import BatchProcessor

# Process 2500 documents
texts = [doc['text'] for doc in your_documents]

processor = BatchProcessor(
    pipeline,
    n_workers=4,         # Parallel workers (adjust for your CPU)
    show_progress=True   # Progress bar
)

# Process all documents in parallel
results = processor.process_batch(texts, operation='redact')

# Extract redacted texts
redacted = [r['text'] for r in results]
```

**Performance Comparison:**
- **Before optimization**: 2500 docs in 4-6 hours (6-8s per doc)
- **After optimization**: 2500 docs in 30-60 minutes (0.7-1.5s per doc)
- **Speedup**: **5-8x faster** for single docs, **15-30x faster** for batches

#### 3. Configuration Optimization
Disable slow detectors for 2-3x additional speedup:

```python
# Maximum Speed (3-5x faster, good accuracy)
cfg = RedactionConfig(
    country="AU",
    use_gliner=True,    # Fast + accurate zero-shot
    use_spacy=True,     # Fast NER
    use_bert=False,     # Skip BERT for 3x speedup
    use_openmed=True,   # Only if medical docs
)

# Balanced (2x faster, high accuracy)
cfg = RedactionConfig(
    country="AU",
    use_gliner=True,
    use_spacy=True,
    use_openmed=True,
    use_bert=False      # BERT adds 200ms+ per doc
)
```

#### 4. Databricks / Spark Optimization
Optimized UDF creation for distributed processing:

```python
from zerophix.performance import DatabricksOptimizer
from pyspark.sql.functions import col

# Create pipeline once (models cached on driver)
pipeline = RedactionPipeline(cfg)

# Create optimized Spark UDF
redact_udf = DatabricksOptimizer.create_udf(pipeline, return_type='redacted')

# Apply to DataFrame
df_redacted = df.withColumn('redacted_text', redact_udf(col('text')))
```

#### 5. Additional Optimizations
- **Intelligent caching** (memory or Redis)
- **Async processing** with `redact_batch_async()`
- **Multi-threading** with configurable workers
- **Streaming support** for large documents

```python
# Redis caching
config = RedactionConfig(
    cache_detections=True,
    cache_type="redis",
    redis_url="redis://localhost:6379"
)

# Async batch
results = await pipeline.redact_batch_async(texts)

# Parallel detection within pipeline
config = RedactionConfig(parallel_detection=True, max_workers=8)
```

### Quick Performance Guide

**For Maximum Speed:**
1. Enable model caching (automatic)
2. Use `BatchProcessor` for multiple documents
3. Disable BERT detector (`use_bert=False`)
4. Adjust worker count based on CPU cores

**For Databricks:**
1. Use `DatabricksOptimizer.create_udf()` for Spark
2. Set environment caching: `TRANSFORMERS_CACHE=/dbfs/models/cache`
3. Use GPU instances if available

See examples:
- Basic: `python examples/performance_comparison_demo.py`
- Databricks: `examples/optimized_databricks_benchmark.ipynb`

### Performance Stats
```bash
zerophix stats --analyze --recommendations
```

## Scanning & Reporting

Detect sensitive data without redaction - perfect for compliance audits:

```python
# Scan without redacting
result = pipeline.scan(text)
print(f"Found {result['total_detections']} sensitive items")

# Generate reports
from zerophix.reporting import ReportGenerator
html_report = ReportGenerator.generate(result, format="html")
```

**Report Formats:** HTML, JSON, CSV, Markdown, Text

```bash
zerophix scan --infile document.txt --format html --output report.html
```

## Troubleshooting

If entity detection returns 0 results when using the installed library:
- **Solution**: Ensure policy YAML files are included in your installation
- **Details**: See [DEBUGGING_ENTITY_DETECTION.md](DEBUGGING_ENTITY_DETECTION.md) for comprehensive troubleshooting
- **Quick test**: `python test_installed_library.py`

## Examples

**Understanding Detection Methods:**

| Example Type | Methods | What Gets Detected | Best For |
|--------------|---------|-------------------|----------|
| **Simple** | Regex only | SSN, email, phone, credit cards, structured data | Quick testing, minimal dependencies |
| **Quick Start** | Regex + optional spaCy | Above + names (if spaCy enabled) | Learning the basics, understanding detection |
| **Comprehensive** | All models (Regex + spaCy + BERT + OpenMed + GLiNER) | All entity types including names, context, medical terms, custom entities | Production use, maximum accuracy |

**Key Insight:** If an example doesn't detect names, it's likely because it uses regex-only detection (intentionally for speed). Examples that enable spaCy/BERT/GLiNER will detect names and complex entities.

All examples handle missing optional dependencies gracefully - if a feature isn't installed, the example will skip that section and continue.

### Quick Start (Minimal Install)
Install: `pip install zerophix`

| Example | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| [simple_redaction_example.py](examples/simple_redaction_example.py) | **START HERE** - Simplest possible example (5 lines) |
| [quick_start_examples.py](examples/quick_start_examples.py) | Basic redaction, strategies, batch processing |
| [scan_example.py](examples/scan_example.py) | Detection without redaction |
| [australian_entities_examples.py](examples/australian_entities_examples.py) | Australian-specific PII detection |

**Run:**
```bash
python examples/simple_redaction_example.py
python examples/quick_start_examples.py
python examples/scan_example.py
python examples/australian_entities_examples.py
```

#### Expected Output: simple_redaction_example.py
**Note:** This example uses **regex-only detection** (no ML models). It detects structured data (SSN, email, phone, credit cards) but not unstructured names. For name detection, see examples with NER/OpenMed/GLiNER below.

```
======================================================================
ZeroPhi Simple Redaction Example (Regex-only)
======================================================================

ORIGINAL TEXT:
  John Doe, SSN: 123-45-6789, Email: john@example.com, Phone: (555) 123-4567

REDACTED TEXT:
  John Doe, SSN: <SSN>, Email: <EMAIL>, Phone: (<PHONE_US>

ENTITIES DETECTED (Regex patterns only):
  - SSN                  : '123-45-6789'
  - EMAIL                : 'john@example.com'
  - PHONE_US             : '555) 123-4567'

======================================================================
Status: Successfully detected and redacted 3 entities (ultra-fast, no ML models)
======================================================================
```

**Why no name detection?** Names require NER models (spaCy/BERT/GLiNER). The simple example uses regex only for speed and minimal dependencies. See examples below for name detection with ML models.

#### Expected Output: quick_start_examples.py (With ML Detection)
**Note:** These examples show NER-enabled detection. You'll see name detection (PERSON_NAME) working here, unlike the simple example.

```
ZeroPhi Quick Start Examples (With ML Detectors)
==================================================
These examples use NER models for complete detection including names

==================================================
1. BASIC TEXT REDACTION (REGEX + spaCy NER)
==================================================

Redacted: Hi, I'm John Doe. My SSN is <SSN> and email is <EMAIL>
Found 2 sensitive entities (SSN, email - spaCy NER may vary by context)

==================================================
2. MULTI-COUNTRY SUPPORT
==================================================
US: John Smith, SSN: 123-45-6789, phone: (555) 123-4567
     -> <PERSON_NAME>, SSN: <SSN>, phone: (<PHONE_US>

AU: Jane Doe, TFN: 123 456 789, Medicare: 2234 5678 9 1
     -> <PERSON_NAME>, TFN: <TFN>, Medicare: <MEDICARE>

==================================================
3. ML DETECTION (SPACY + REGEX + BERT)

Detects: Names (spaCy), SSN/phone (regex), medical context (BERT)
  Found 4 entities
  Result: Patient <PERSON_NAME> (born <DOB_ISO>) was treated for <DISEASE>...

==================================================
4. REDACTION STRATEGIES
==================================================
Replace with entity type:
  Original: Contact John Doe at john@example.com or call (555) 123-4567
  Redacted: Contact <PERSON_NAME> at <EMAIL> or call (<PHONE_US>)

Partial masking:
  Redacted: Contact John D... at ******************** or call (555) ***-****

Realistic fake data:
  Redacted: Contact Alex Johnson at oenybdub@example.com or call (482) 705-3473

Consistent hashing:
  Redacted: Contact 55f537baf756 at 9a8b7c6d or call bceb5476591e
