Table N.11-6 provides the list of Attributes and the action when de-identifying instances. Supported Action Codes are defined in PS 3.15 Section E.1.

[For every element listed in Table N.11-6, “De-identified Elements and Actions”, describe the Action the application may take using one of the actions codes defined below:]

D: replace with a non-zero length Value that may be a dummy Value and consistent with the VR
Z: replace with a zero-length Value, or a non-zero length Value that may be a dummy Value and consistent with the VR
X: remove
K: keep (unchanged for non-sequence Attributes, cleaned for sequences)
C: clean, that is replace with Values of similar meaning known not to contain identifying information and consistent with the VR
U: replace with a non-zero length UID that is internally consistent within a set of Instances
Z/D: Z unless D is required to maintain IOD conformance (Type 2 versus Type 1)
X/Z: X unless Z is required to maintain IOD conformance (Type 3 versus Type 2)
X/D: X unless D is required to maintain IOD conformance (Type 3 versus Type 1)
X/Z/D: X unless Z or D is required to maintain IOD conformance (Type 3 versus Type 2 versus Type 1)
X/Z/U*: X unless Z or replacement of contained instance UIDs (U) is required to maintain IOD conformance (Type 3 versus Type 2 versus Type 1 sequences containing UID references)

[Indicated in the "Encrypted" column, whether encryption is supported. Y for yes, N for No.]

Attribute Name	Tag	Comments
Basic Profile Option
<Element name>	<(xxxx,yyyy) >	[In case of dummy Value, describe here the algorithm that produces the Value]



[Additional Private Option]

[Explain the scope here in which the application can ensure referential integrity of replacement Values for references such as SOP Instance UID, Frame of Reference UID, etc. if multiple SOP Instances are de-identified (e.g., across multiple Studies, consistent replacement if the same Study is processed more than once, etc.)

Also mention if Encrypted Attributes Data Set is to be used and which Transfer Syntaxes are supported for encoding/decoding the Encrypted Attributes Data Set.

Finally, list here any additional restrictions (e.g., key sizes for public keys).]
