Philter is an API-based application to identify and manipulate (redact, anonymize, and more) PII, PHI, and other sensitive infromation.
Philter is built upon the open source PII and PHI redaction engine Phileas. Philter provides an API on top of Phileas that allows for redaction and management of filtering policies.
Philter was released as open source under the Apache License, version 2.0, in July 2024 for version 2.6.0, but Philter dates back to 2019. See the Release Notes for a description of past versions.
For Philter's User Guide please see https://philterd.github.io/philter/.
Philter is available on the cloud marketplaces as a turnkey redaction solution. These cloud images are pre-configured and ready to be used immediately after launch.

Philter is built with Maven:
mvn clean install
To launch Philter, use the docker-compose.yml:
docker compose up
Once the containers are running, you can submit text to Philter's API for redaction:
curl -k "https://localhost:8080/api/filter" --data "George Washington lives in 90210 and his SSN was 123-45-6789." -H "Content-type: text/plain"
AI models for identifying PII and PHI in text are available at https://github.com/philterd/pii-models. These models can be used by both Phileas and Philter.
