• Key Concepts: 
  Tokenization is a process used in SAP EIM-DS Data Services to protect sensitive data. It replaces sensitive data with a token, which is a randomly generated string of characters that cannot be used to identify the original data. Tokenization is used to protect data from unauthorized access and to ensure compliance with data privacy regulations. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP EIM-DS Data Services, tokenization is used to protect sensitive data such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, and other personal information. To tokenize data, the user must first define a tokenization rule in the Data Services Designer. This rule defines the type of data to be tokenized and the format of the token. Once the rule is defined, it can be applied to any data set that contains the specified type of data. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a tokenization rule, it is important to ensure that the token format is unique and cannot be easily guessed. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the tokenized data can be easily decrypted when needed.
