Which is why I was asking what you meant by "this technique."

If your question is: "Is client-side de-identification sufficient for HIPAA," then sure, assuming you are de-identifying the data elements required by HIPAA to be de-identified. You'd have to be a real big idiot to rely on something like this though.

If your question is: "Does this library, as described in the blog post, de-identify data sufficiently for HIPAA?" then no, it doesn't appear that it does.
