processing a data input through said distributed computing system to obtain said select content and one or more of contextually and taxonomically associated select content;
during the test, extracting from said data input said select content and one or more of contextually and taxonomically associated select content found in one or more of said proximal select content data store;
during the test, storing said select content and contextually and taxonomically associated select content in one or more of said geographically distributed distal select content data stores of said plurality of geographically distributed distal select content data stores, said geographically distributed distal select content data stores being geographically remote from said proximal select content data store;
further processing said data input and geographically distributing, with at least one data process from the group of data processes, said data input over said plurality of geographically distributed distal select content data stores, said one data process being from the group of data processes including;
(i) a copy process, (ii) a data extract process, (iii) a data archive process, (iv) a data distribution process and (v) a copy, extract, archive and distribute process with a sequential and supplemental data destruction process; and
permitting reconstruction of the processed data only in the presence of a respective access control for each of said proximal select content data store and said plurality of geographically distributed distal select content data stores.

Abstract
A method and system processes data in a distributed computing system to survive an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack. The computing system has proximal select content (SC) data stores and geographically distributed distal data stores, all with respective access controls. The data input or put through the computing system is processed to obtain the SC and other associated content. The process then extracts and stores such content in the proximal SC data stores and geographically distributed distal SC data stores. The system further processes data to geographically distribute the data with data processes including: copy, extract, archive, distribute, and a copy-extract-archive and distribute process with a sequential and supplemental data destruction process. In this manner, the data input is distributed or spread out over the geographically distributed distal SC data stores. The system and method permits reconstruction of the processed data only in the presence of a respective access control.
