Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Apple Pay uses tokenization to protect card numbers?

Yes. A Wikipedia article on Apple Pay states the service uses the EMV Payment Tokenization Specification and replaces the card's account number with a tokenized device account number. A separate piece explains tokenization generally replaces sensitive card data with a unique digital code, though it does not name Apple Pay.
