When to Use a Token Vault or Privitar NOVLT
Use this table to determine when you should use a token vault or Privitar NOVLT.
Token Vault | NOVLT |
|---|---|
structured or unstructured inputs | structured inputs |
data is in a single region | data is in a single region or is spread across regions |
Privitar NOVLT is best suited for inputs with a well-defined structure, such as IDs, Social Security numbers, account numbers, and so on. Avoid using NOVLT for less-structured inputs, such as names, postal addresses, and email addresses.
If you were to use NOVLT for unstructured inputs, the unpredictable length of potential inputs leads to output tokens that are impractically large. For example, an email address token might appear as follows: sdilufhasku123dhfasldiu4fhaskdfjh.qweiu23jflasjd2sdfasdf23kflas4dkfj-sdflj12nqoiskd12asdfjfasld59kfj@isdlwesdfasdjh82jld.10lsldjhfsdlkjf.com
