A system and method for privatizing computer data comprises
the steps of opening a plurality of original data files, fragmenting said original data files
into fragments, and interspersing said fragments among each other forming composite files,
which together with an index file comprise a privacy protected archive. The method then
comprises the steps of creating a reconstitution file, which identifies hidden dispersion
locations and placement of individual fragments to reconstruct the original data files.
Finally, the composite files may be dispersed to the hidden locations. To enhance security,
each fragment is disguised through an exclusive OR operation and other mathematical
operations, with the disguising directed by a fragment handling guide drawn from a
random table, before interspersing fragments within the composite files.
Accordingly, it is an objective of the present invention to
provide a system and method for privatizing computer data, which provides substantially complete
security from unauthorized persons, without resorting to strong encryption techniques.
Further, it is another object of the present invention to
provide a system and method for privatizing computer data, which provides freedom from data
mining.
Another objective of the present invention is to
provide a system and method for privatizing computer data by dispersing files to hidden
locations on the Internet and/or other media.
Further, another objective of the present invention is to
provide a system and method for privatizing computer data wherein only authorized users on
authorized computers can open a reconstitution file to obtain access to the computer data.
