Claim 6. A computer-implemented method for privatizing computer data comprising the steps of:

  • providing a plurality of original data files, each of said original data files being a binary stream;
  • fragmenting said plurality of original data files into fragments;
  • creating at least two composite files by interspersing said fragments;
  • creating a reconstitution file having a reconstitution plan;
  • dispersing said at least two composite files to at least two different locations, such that the location of each composite file is different from another composite file, wherein each composite file is dispersed as a unit to one single location, wherein said two different locations for said at least two composite files is different than a third location for the reconstitution file; and
  • preventing access to any data of said plurality of original data files.

Claim 7. A method for privatizing computer data comprising the steps of:

  • providing a plurality of original data files, each of said original data files being a binary stream;
  • fragmenting said plurality of original data files into fragments;
  • creating at least two composite files by interspersing said fragments;
  • creating a reconstitution file having a reconstitution plan; and
  • dispersing said at least two composite files to at least two different locations,
  • wherein fragmenting said plurality of original data files into fragments, further comprises the steps of:
  • processing original data file matters;
  • processing random table matters;
  • obtaining a fragment handling guide;
  • interpreting said fragment handling guide;
  • obtaining one of said fragments;
  • providing space in a fragment storage structure for said one of said fragments;
  • disguising said one of said fragments;
  • writing said disguised one of said fragments to said fragment storage structure so as to intersperse said disguised one of said fragments with other fragments stored therein;
  • writing said interspersed fragments to said composite file when said fragment storage structure is filled with said interspersed fragments;
  • recording an action taken on said fragment to said reconstitution file; and
  • repeating said steps for fragmenting said data files into fragments until no input data remains in said original data files.
