Masked :An ACL that was effective until you made a change.

Unmasked : An ACL that was just made effective when you made a change.

Hi Harish ,

  As per my understanding masking means if we are writing the table.* ACL and after that writing Acl for Specific fields like table.Short_description. 

Table.* means all fields level access but now here i am giving a particular role for Table.Field_Name . So it will so you that fields only / What ever operation you want to perform. and unmasking means we don't want to perform any specific fields operation .
