RedactWire

Lightweight, culture-aware PII detection, validation and redaction for .NET. Regex-first and checksum-validated — a random 16-digit number isn't reported as a credit card, and a national ID with a bad check digit is dropped, not guessed.

  • Targets netstandard2.0 (works on .NET Framework 4.6.1+, .NET Core/5–8+, Mono, Unity).
  • Built-in packs for 50+ countries (national IDs, tax numbers, phones, passports, postcodes), most gated by the real check-digit algorithm.
  • Secret detection — API keys & tokens (OpenAI, AWS, GitHub, Stripe, Slack, Google, SendGrid, npm), JWT, PEM private keys — via AddSecretDetection(). Great for AI/LLM logs.
  • Severity-driven overlap resolution; redaction (mask / remove / label / custom).
  • Structured scanning of JSON / XML / objects is an opt-in add-on — RedactWire.Structured — so this core package carries no System.Text.Json dependency.

Quick start

using RedactWire;

// Zero-config static facade
PiiResult r   = Redactor.Detect("My SSN is 123-45-6789");
bool      hit = Redactor.HasPii("Call (415) 555-0132");
string    safe = Redactor.Redact("Card 4242 4242 4242 4242");

// Validate a single value
Redactor.Validate("123-45-6789", PiiType.SocialSecurity);   // Valid / Invalid / Unsupported

// Pick cultures via the builder
var detector = PiiDetectorBuilder.CreateDefault()
    .AddCulture(new CultureInfo("en-GB"))
    .Build();

// ASP.NET Core / DI
builder.Services.AddRedactWire(b => b.AddCulture(new CultureInfo("de-DE")));

Packs resolve by country: a country's languages share one pack (en-IN/hi-IN, en-CA/fr-CA), while the same language across countries stays distinct (zh-CN/zh-TW/zh-HK/zh-SG).

Patterns/checksums are knowledge-based and being verified against authoritative sources — treat unverified packs as best-effort until confirmed.

Showing the top 2 NuGet packages that depend on RedactWire:

Package Downloads
BotWire.Core

Core engine for BotWire — a low-cost, self-hosted AI customer-support bot for .NET. RAG answers grounded in your own docs, automatic escalation to human tickets, PII + prompt-injection guards. No ASP.NET dependency. Commercial licenses available for proprietary use.
RedactWire.Structured

Structured PII scanning add-on for RedactWire — detect PII inside JSON, XML and object graphs, each hit located by JSONPath / XPath / property path. Adds a System.Text.Json dependency; install only if you need structured scanning (the core RedactWire package stays free of it).

Version Downloads Last Updated
0.4.0 398 6/26/2026
0.3.0 101 6/24/2026
0.1.0 102 6/23/2026

0.4.0 — BREAKING: structured scanning (JSON/XML/object) moved to the new RedactWire.Structured package; core no longer depends on System.Text.Json. Redactor.DetectJson/DetectXml/DetectObject removed — reference RedactWire.Structured and call Redactor.Default.DetectJson(...) or detector.DetectJson(...). Added: secret detection (AddSecretDetection), remove/replace built-in rules, region-based culture resolution. See CHANGELOG.md.
