Core Concepts
Tokenization, masking, pseudonymization — the primitives behind Salus.
Tokenization
Typed, deterministic, reversible — the primitive everything else builds on.
Tokenization vs. Masking
Why reversible tokens beat one-way redaction for AI workflows.
Tokenization vs. Pseudonymization
The difference between a technical mechanism and a privacy classification.
Why Salus Does Not Use Irreversible Anonymization
Reversible workflows require a protected path back to approved original values.
Context Preservation
How stable tokens preserve relationships that external AI needs to understand.
