De-identify content through deterministic encryption

Use the Data Loss Prevention API to de-identify sensitive data in a string using deterministic encryption, which is a reversible cryptographic method. The encryption is performed with a wrapped key.

    """Deidentifies sensitive data in a string using deterministic encryption.
    Args:
        project: The Google Cloud project id to use as a parent resource.
        input_str: The string to deidentify (will be treated as text).
        surrogate_type: The name of the surrogate custom info type to use. Only
            necessary if you want to reverse the deidentification process. Can
            be essentially any arbitrary string, as long as it doesn't appear
            in your dataset otherwise.
        key_name: The name of the Cloud KMS key used to encrypt ('wrap') the
            AES-256 key. Example:
            key_name = 'projects/YOUR_GCLOUD_PROJECT/locations/YOUR_LOCATION/
            keyRings/YOUR_KEYRING_NAME/cryptoKeys/YOUR_KEY_NAME'
        wrapped_key: The encrypted ('wrapped') AES-256 key to use. This key
            should be encrypted using the Cloud KMS key specified by key_name.
    Returns:
        None; the response from the API is printed to the terminal.
