It is a Spanish version of the English neologism tokenization, which can be used in our language because the word token already circulates in many environments, although with various interpretations. In principle, it would be the "effect of tokenizing, converting or giving symbol value to something or someone" that is used in sociology, especially for cases in which a merely formal or decorative position, position or category is given, just to show that it is taken into account and on many occasions for a matter of image. such as when it comes to including representatives of a minority or a traditionally discriminated group. It is precisely for this last reason that there is an ironic equivalent as "florism" (or "tokenism"). However, there are other, more technical uses, such as converting data to a token (information that represents data but does not contain in itself any meaning that relates to the original), and it is an alternative to encryption.
