Encryption Keys and Tokenization with Akeyless
Use Akeyless DFC encryption and vaultless tokenization for data protection and PCI-DSS compliance

Lab Overview
In this lab you will create a Distributed Fragments Cryptography (DFC) encryption key in Akeyless, use it to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data, rotate the key while preserving the ability to decrypt older ciphertext, and create a vaultless tokenizer for PCI-DSS compliant credit card number tokenization. Akeyless DFC encryption means the key material is never in one place — not even Akeyless itself holds the complete key.
What You'll Learn
Create an AES-256-GCM DFC encryption key in Akeyless
Encrypt and decrypt data using the CLI
Rotate an encryption key while maintaining backward compatibility
Create a vaultless tokenizer for format-preserving credit card tokenization
Detokenize a credit card token to retrieve the original PAN
Prerequisites
Akeyless account with API Key access credentials
Basic understanding of encryption concepts (symmetric keys, ciphertext)
