Wait, wait, wait... is this a trick question? Because I'm pretty sure the answer is 'Partial Destruction'. You know, when you take a pair of scissors and just snip off the last few digits. That's the ultimate form of credit card security, right?

B: I see, so it's not about destroying the numbers, but more about hiding them. That makes sense.

A: No, actually the correct answer is A) Masking data. It's when you hide or cover up sensitive information to protect it.

You know, I was about to go with 'Sighting controls', but then I realized that's just for spotting UFOs, not credit cards. 'Partial encryption' it is. Though I do wonder if they'll accept 'Partial Invisibility' as an answer. It's the same thing, right?

I don't think 'Partial Invisibility' would be accepted, but it does sound cool.

Yeah, 'Partial encryption' makes sense for hiding some of the credit card numbers.

I'm going with 'Partial encryption' on this one. I mean, it's not like we're trying to hide the whole card number, just the juicy bits. It's like a little game of 'guess the credit card' for the cashier!

I agree, it's like a security measure without revealing too much information.

Yeah, it's like a teaser for the cashier. Keeps the rest of the number a mystery.

I think it's 'Partial encryption' too. It's like a sneak peek of the card number.

Hmm, 'Masking data' seems like the most logical answer here. It's not like we're creating 'Synthetic data' or dealing with 'Sighting controls'. Partial encryption is just for the movies, right?

I think it could also be partial encryption, as only part of the data is hidden.

I agree with Albert, it's definitely masking data to protect sensitive information.

Ah, this one's a no-brainer! Clearly, it's 'Partial encryption'. I mean, who doesn't know that a credit card with some numbers visible is just a way to partially encrypt the sensitive information?
