masking in security
Masking in security refers to the practice of obfuscating sensitive information, such as passwords or credit card numbers, to prevent unauthorized access or theft. This is typically done by replacing the original data with a placeholder or a mask, which limits the visibility of the actual information. Masking helps to protect sensitive data and improve security measures by ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to the full information.
