Many believe these are competing technologies and most vendor marketing reinforces that misconception. End to end protects card data at initial entry when the card is first swiped or keyed in. Tokenization then provides a mechanism for merchants to be able to perform future actions like recurring billing or an easier return process without storing the account number. An end to end encryption solution is complemented when it has built-in tokenization support. Without the tokenization, many business needs are not met. They're complementary technologies, not competing. Walter, I think there’s a lot of misinformation out there and that’s the fundamental source of confusion.
