20110307710 | Tokenized Payment Processing Schemes - A payment processing system for accepting manually-entered payment-card numbers. Rather than entering a payment-card account number into an application module, the card number is instead captured and stored within a tokenizer prior to being sent to the application module.

The token has no algorithmic relationship with the original payment-card number, so that the payment-card number cannot be derived based on the token itself. Since the token is not considered cardholder data, the token may be used in an application module without the module or its connected hardware from being subject to regulatory standards compliance.
