1. A computer comprises:

  • a communication network interface operably coupled to receive at least a threshold number of data slices for each of one or more strings of data, wherein a data slice of the threshold number of data slices includes a data value and a coded value;

    a decoding module operably coupled to;

    for each of the one or more strings of data;

    decode, using a decoding algorithm, the at least the threshold number of data slices to produce “

    n”

    data values, wherein the “

    n”

    is a positive integer greater than the threshold number; and

    reconstruct a string of data of the one or more strings of data from the “

    n”

    data values; and

    reconstruct a computer file from the one or more strings of data; and

    memory for storing at least a portion the computer file.
