The Obfuscate Readers system has been added in the tools menu to allow suitably authorised users to encrypt the readers names in the database in such a way that it complies with data protection regulations in preventing individual identification of readers.

This tool is not intended for use on an every day basis, and intended for use only when a full database must be removed from the normal operating environment for support.

The same menu option is used to both Obfuscate and De-obfuscate the reader names.
