    dividing the data area into a first part and a second part, wherein the sub-address of the storage device is in the first part;

    encrypting the second part of the data area;

    transferring the electronic data, via the main address, to the sub-address of the storage device;

    wherein the header portion and data area are established in accordance with a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP);

    wherein the data area includes an “

    x+1”

    number of data packets, sequentially numbered from “

    0”

    through “

    x”

    , and wherein the first part of the data area is in the “

    0”

    data packet; and
