First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for securing data using a portable device, the method comprising:
- generating a plurality of portions of data from a dataset based at least in part on a key, each of the plurality of portions comprising less than all data of the dataset, wherein the key and at least two of the portions of data are sufficient to reconstruct the dataset;
storing at least one of the generated data portions at one or more storage devices;
storing the key on a portable device, wherein the portable device is different from the one or more storage devices; and
storing at least one of the generated data portions on the portable device.

Abstract
A secure data parser is provided that may be integrated into any suitable system for securely storing and communicating data. The secure data parser parses data and then splits the data into multiple portions that are stored or communicated distinctly. Encryption of the original data, the portions of data, or both may be employed for additional security. The secure data parser may be used to protect data in motion by splitting original data into portions of data, that may be communicated using multiple communications paths.
