Masking

Masking in technology refers to hiding or concealing specific information so it isn’t visible or accessible to everyone. For example, in finance, masking might hide part of a credit card number to protect your sensitive data while still allowing identification. In AI and data processing, masking temporarily hides certain data during analysis or training to ensure privacy or security. Essentially, masking shields important details from unauthorized view, helping maintain confidentiality while still allowing necessary operations.
