It's not that trivial of a question, or more organizations would have
gotten it right. I bet a method (or two) for obscuring PII is recommended
by your university or department. When that method has been determined,
the requisite R package will probably be easy to find, and down the road
you'll dodge the bullet of "I thought it would work" by not guessing at a
method.
