Data Tokenization

Definition

Data tokenization is the process of converting sensitive data into a non-sensitive equivalent, or “token,” that retains essential information without compromising security. In digital asset contexts, this often involves representing real-world assets, such as real estate or commodities, as digital tokens on a blockchain. The token acts as a secure placeholder for the original data, facilitating secure transactions and data management without exposing the underlying sensitive information. This method enhances data privacy and transactional efficiency.
