Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Included are systems and methods for tokenizing sensitive data. Some of the systems and/or methods are configured to receive sensitive data from a vendor, determine a token key for the vendor, and utilize a proprietary algorithm, based on the token key to generate a vendor-specific token that is associated with the sensitive data. Some systems and/or methods include creating a token identifier that comprises data related to the token key sending the vendor-specific token and the token identifier to the vendor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).
