We call it pseudonymization ("Pseudonymisierung"). It's a commonly
used technique in Germany to detaint personally identifiable
information, so you can share it freely for statistics purposes. The
methods used in the field are rather crude (time-seeded LCGs are very
common, unfortunately).
A reference to the book "Translucent Databases" was posted to this
list a couple of months ago, but IIRC it's being revisied, so I didn't
rush to buy and read it.
