SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURING DATA IN THE CLOUD
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for securing data using a cloud computing storage network, the method comprising:
- generating at a first system at least two portions of data from a data set;
communicating the at least two portions of data from the first system over a communications network to the cloud computing storage network, wherein the cloud computing storage network includes at least two respectively remote storage devices; and
storing the at least two portions of data within the cloud computing storage network on the at least two networked storage devices, whereby the data set is restorable from at least a subset of the at least two portions of data by recombining data from the subset of the at least two portions of data.

Abstract
A secure data parser is provided that may be integrated into any suitable system for securely storing data in and communicating data with cloud computing resources. 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.

11. A method for securing data using an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) network, the method comprising:
-
generating at a first location at least two portions of data from the data set; and communicating from the first location to a second location the at least two portions of data over at least two OFDM channels, wherein different portions of data are communicated over different OFDM channels, whereby the data set is restorable at the second location from at least a subset of the at least two portions of data by recombining data from the subset of the at least two portions of data received over the at least two OFDM channels. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

24. An apparatus for securing data in an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) network, the apparatus comprising:
-
a secure data parser operable to generate at a first location at least two portions of data from the data set; and an OFDM transceiver operable to communicate from the first location to a second location the at least two portions of data over at least two OFDM channels, wherein different portions of data are communicated over different OFDM channels, whereby the data set is restorable at the second location from at least a subset of the at least two portions of data by recombining data from the subset of the at least two portions of data received over the at least two OFDM channels. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
