st: creating individuals ID numbers

Dear colleagues
I have a new database where I have confidential information about individuals, including
their names, address and ID numbers that can not become public.
I need to create new ID numbers so that the database can become public. I thought
about doing in some different ways, like to create a new rule for a number based on the
old ID number, or to create random numbers.
But I would like to ask your opinion about the best way to do it.
Thanks
Priscila
