Tokenization is the process of exchanging or converting sensitive data for nonsensitive data into smaller parts called “tokens.” It can be used in a database or internal system without bringing it into scope. Tokens have almost no intrinsic value; they are only helpful when they represent something important, such as a credit card primary account number (PAN) or Social Security number (SSN). Most organizations store sensitive data in their systems, whether it's credit card information, medical information, social security numbers, or anything else that has to be secure and protected. Tokenization allows enterprises to continue using this data for commercial purposes without the risk or compliance implications of retaining sensitive data internally.
