TokenEx Platform Overview

Introduction

📘
TokenEx's cloud tokenization platform helps you accept, secure, and transact sensitive data.

TokenEx works by gathering sensitive data through either batch or API processes. Once the data is gathered, we accept and secure it, returning a token to you for internal use. When you need to transact with a third party, just send us the token and its destination so we can forward the related data on your behalf.

Accept

📘
Gathering sensitive information (e.g., credit card numbers, SSNs, health information) from customers presents security and compliance challenges. TokenEx has multiple solutions to help customers capture this data.

How is the data collected?	TokenEx Solution	Description
Web form	Hosted iFrame	Allows a company to capture sensitive information on a web form, sending it directly to TokenEx and receiving a non-sensitive token in return. Easily integrates with web applications and web forms, maintaining existing style. This a data element iFrame and not an iFrame for an entire payment form.
Web form	Browser-Based Encryption	Allows a company to encrypt sensitive data upon collection for secure transmission to TokenEx, if they are unable to use the TokenEx iFrame.
Mobile app	Mobile API	Allows a company to capture sensitive information from within a native mobile application (iOS or Android), sending it directly to TokenEx and receiving a non-sensitive token in return.
File	Batch	Tokenize large amounts of sensitive data from a structured file before it enters your system. Frequently used for scheduled recurring processes, large-scale data transfers, and data migrations.
Contact center	Contact Center API	Securely collect sensitive data via phone and call center technologies (IVR/DTMF/PIN pad systems).
In-person/Point-of-sale (POS) system	Point to Point Encryption (P2PE)	Tokenize sensitive data collected from PIN pads and other point-of-sale devices from brick-and-mortar locations.
Already exists in system	Token Services API	Tokenize sensitive data so that you can store a non-sensitive replacement internally that is secured and protected against bad actors.
Third-party	Transparent Gateway API (Proxy Tokenization)	Tokenize sensitive data from a third party before it ever hits your environment, which reduces scope and increases security.

Secure

📘
TokenEx ensures that you can easily access sensitive information that you've tokenized, while reducing your PCI scope. You can opt for either Vaultless or Vaulted token storage.

Vaulted Tokens	Vaultless Tokens
TokenEx stores the relationship between the sensitive data and the token in a client specific database or "token vault."	TokenEx doesn't store the relationship between sensitive data and token, but the data can still be detokenized when needed. Eliminates the need to have sensitive data stored in a specific location to meet data compliance regulations.
Helps companies ensure there is a record of their sensitive data stored by TokenEx.	Faster processing time for tokenizing/detokenizing large amounts of information at once.
Provides additional flexibility in token schemes.	1:1 token mapping and 4 token schemes to address the majority of use cases.

Transact

📘
TokenEx has several options to help companies securely transfer sensitive data from TokenEx to other systems that need it.

The most common ways to exchange sensitive data are with the Transparent Gateway API and the Payment Services API. Here are the differences between the two offerings:

Transparent Gateway API	Payment Services API
Works with any API endpoint or payment gateway without handling sensitive data internally.	Pre-coded to popular payment gateways.
Minimal code and setup changes.	Connect to your desired combination of payment service providers via a single point of integration.
Can also be set up to tokenize sensitive data from inbound requests.	Unified API allows for faster speed to market when leveraging multiple PSPs integrated with Payment Services.
