!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] in general is substituting a [Sensitive Data] element with a non-sensitive equivalent, referred to as a token which has no meaning or value outside of the current [Context] if the "Tokenized" [data] is [leaked|Data loss][{$pagename}] is used to generate an [Opaque token]!! [EMVCo Tokenization]
The purpose of [{$pagename}] (According to [EMVCo Tokenization]) is to swap out the original [message] with [by-reference] data with no intrinsic value of its own.
From this perspective, this is the same as [by-reference].
[{$pagename}] differs from [encryption] and [Hash Functions] where the [message] is changed, but the original [message] is still within the [Ciphertext]. The [Ciphertext], of course, can be [decrypted|decryption] from:
* using the appropriate key(s)
* [Brute-Force] [Attacks]
* a [Compromised Certificate] or key
[{$pagename}]s, on the other hand, cannot be decrypted because there is no mathematical [relationship] between the [Opaque token] and its original [message].
[De-tokenization] is, of course, the reverse process, when the token is swapped for the original [message]. De-tokenization can typically only be done by the original [Tokenization Service] or [Token Service Provider]. There is no other way to obtain the original [message] from just the Tokenized [Token].
!! Single use [{$pagename}]s
[by-reference] [Tokens] can be single use (a one time [Debit Card] [transaction]) that are not retained, or multi-use (a [Payment Card] number of a repeat customer) that is stored in a database for recurring transactions.
