tokenize [text/data/code] into [tokens/words/units]

2
replace sensitive data with tokens
To hide private data by replacing it with a safe substitute code.
Schéma d’usage :
tokenize [sensitive data/card details/payment information]
Erreur fréquente :
Do not confuse this with encrypting data; tokenized data is replaced by a token, while encrypted data is transformed with a key.
Synonymes
mask (Usually means hiding part of the data visually, not necessarily replacing it with a usable token.)
|
anonymize (Means removing or changing identifying information; broader than tokenizing.)
|
substitute (General word for replacing one thing with another; less technical.)
Antonymes
detokenize (Converts a token back to the original sensitive data in an authorized system.)
|
expose (Opposite in effect: makes sensitive data visible or available.)

turn assets into digital tokens
To turn an asset or ownership right into digital tokens that can be bought, sold, or transferred.
Schéma d’usage :
tokenize [an asset/property/shares/rights]
Erreur fréquente :
Do not use this meaning for ordinary digitization; tokenizing an asset usually means creating tradable digital tokens that represent rights or ownership.
Synonymes
digitize (Broader; means converting something into digital form, not necessarily into tradable tokens.)
|
securitize (Financial term for turning assets into securities; may overlap but is not specifically blockchain-based.)
|
represent (More general; lacks the technical sense of creating tokens.)
Antonymes
untokenize (Rare; would mean to remove or reverse token representation.)
|
redeem (In some financial contexts, means exchanging a token for the underlying asset or value.)
