Description: The tokenization framework is a structured approach to implementing tokenization in software applications, designed to protect sensitive data by replacing critical information with unique identifiers known as tokens. These tokens maintain the integrity of the original data, allowing its use in systems and applications without exposing sensitive information. This framework provides guidelines and best practices for implementing tokenization, ensuring that data is handled securely and in compliance with data protection regulations. Key features of the tokenization framework include a clear definition of the types of data to be tokenized, the selection of appropriate tokenization algorithms, and the management of the relationship between tokens and original data. The relevance of this framework lies in its ability to mitigate security risks, especially in sectors where data protection is critical, such as finance and healthcare. By adopting a tokenization framework, organizations can enhance their security posture, reduce exposure to data breaches, and facilitate compliance with regulations such as GDPR and PCI DSS.
