Token showed its payment ecosystem that uses end-to-end secure protocols with digital signatures:

For the past 2,500 years, our payment rails have relied upon the use of shared secrets, such as passwords, account numbers, payment card numbers, and paper signatures. Shared secrets are the root cause of the never-ending security problems with payment cards, checks, and ACH. Tokenization is a band-aid, not a cure. The only real way to create a secure, fast payment ecosystem is to eliminate the use of all shared secrets by using end-to-end secure protocols with digital signatures. This has never been done before anywhere in the world. It is what sets Token apart from all other payment systems.
