Selected Answer: C
C. Tokenization Explanation: Tokenization replaces sensitive data (e.g., credit card numbers, Social Security numbers) with a unique identifier (token) while storing the original data securely. The process is reversible, meaning authorized systems can retrieve the original data when needed. It is widely used in payment processing, healthcare, and financial services to protect sensitive information while maintaining usability. Why Not the Other Options? A. Hardware Security Module (HSM) → HSMs store and manage encryption keys but do not replace data with tokens. B. Hashing Algorithm → Hashing is irreversible, making it unsuitable for cases where data needs to be retrieved. D. Steganography → This hides data within files or images but does not securely protect sensitive information in a structured manner.
