Encryption Keys and Tokenization with Akeyless

Use Akeyless DFC encryption and vaultless tokenization for data protection and PCI-DSS compliance

35 minutes
Encryption Keys and Tokenization with Akeyless - Platform Engineering Hands-On Lab Icon

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)
