Tokenization
Tokenization involves replacing sensitive data with irreversible tokens:
- Irreversible Substitution: Tokens are generated using irreversible methods.
- Data Format Retention: Tokens retain original format and length.
- Payment Processing: Commonly used for securing payment data.
- Reduced Data Exposure: Minimizes risk of exposing sensitive data.
- Compliance: Helps meet data protection and industry standards.
- Risk Reduction: Even if stolen, tokens cannot be reversed to reveal original data.
