  • creating at least one composite file by interspersing said fragments;
  • creating a reconstitution file, said reconstitution file comprising a reconstitution plan;
  • dispersing said at least one composite file as a unit to at least one location, wherein said at least one location for said at least one composite file is different than a second location for the reconstitution file; and

Claim 2. The method for privatizing computer data of claim 1, wherein creating at least one composite file, further comprises the step of:

  • disguising said fragments.

Claim 3. The method for privatizing computer data of claim 2, wherein disguising said fragments further comprises the step of:

  • disguising said fragment through at least two mathematical techniques.

Claim 4. The method for privatizing computer data of claim 2, wherein said step of disguising said fragments further comprises the steps of:

  • accessing a random table, said random table being a randomized plurality of data bytes; and,
  • accessing a fragment handling guide, said fragment handling guide comprising a predetermined number of successive bytes from said random table.
