Tokenization
A security process that replaces sensitive payment card data with a unique, encrypted identifier called a "token." This tokenized data is used for processing payments without exposing the original card information, reducing the risk of fraud. Tokenization is governed by PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) and critical for payment processors like Finix.
