Assignee: SPRINGCOIN, INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 13:
14. An apparatus for tokenization, configured to carry out a process resulting in at least one pair comprising a reversible token and a key token, wherein the apparatus comprises:
at least one network interface;
at least one control circuit each operably coupled to one of the at least one network interface wherein each of the at least one control circuit is configured as a tokenization processor that communicates with requesting network elements each acting as a requestor, wherein the apparatus is further configured:
to generate during the tokenization, by at least one tokenization processor, at least the one pair; and
to derive cryptographic keying material from at least the key token by a first requesting network element of the requesting network elements each acting as a requestor, and to recover the cryptographic keying material from the at least the key token by a second requesting network element of the requesting network elements each acting as a requestor, wherein the key token is regenerated from the reversible token during detokenization, with the tokenization and the detokenization each using one or more tokenization processors of the at least one control circuit configured as a tokenization processor, and wherein the first requesting network element may differ from the second requesting network element.
