ATLANTA, GA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/25/13 -- Liaison Technologies, a global integration and data management company, today announced the issuance to it by the US Patent Office of a patent covering format preserving tokenization. The patent for invention number US 8,458,487 B1 is for a format preserving tokenization system and methodology that delivers industry leading data security, while simultaneously enabling businesses to perform a wide range of analytics on critical business data.

"Liaison has long been a leader in data security, delivering first-to-market solutions purpose-built to ensure compliance," said Gary Palgon, vice president of Product Management and Strategy at Liaison Technologies. "Our customers depend on us to meet the most stringent demands of all government and industry-regulated data, including personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI) and payment card industry (PCI) data. This patent affirms our ongoing commitment to developing innovative solutions that protect against security threats while also allowing enterprises to efficiently and compliantly manage and protect their data, and that of their customers."

Liaison's format preserving tokenization is utilized within Liaison Protect, the company's encryption, tokenization and key management suite of solutions. By retaining certain critical input values in the generation of token output values, companies can utilize the token to efficiently run their businesses while reducing the risk of the compromise of sensitive data. Sensitive customer or employee information, such as credit card and social security numbers, can be stored as format preserving tokens that allow businesses to leverage the information in the same manner as if the original numbers had been preserved. For instance, customer service teams can verify customers using a token instead of a social security number and retail analysts can review transactional buying patterns linking purchases based on tokens instead of actual credit card numbers.

The patent for Liaison's format preserving tokenization is the latest example of the company's leadership in data security and compliance. The company was the first to deliver a PCI-specific encryption and key management security solution to the market in 2005. In 2009, they introduced the industry's first commercially available, off-the-shelf tokenization solution. In 2011, Liaison was the first to offer cloud-based tokenization, which addressed not only credit card information, but all personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI).
