  • Method and Apparatus for Secure Data Representation Allowing Efficient Collection, Search and Retrieval
    Publication number: 20130036474
    Abstract: A system and method for secure representation of data is presented. The method comprises setting a number of components, dividing original data into the set number of components using a function, storing the set number of components of divided data, determining a number of retrieved components, and using the function to retrieve the data from the retrieved components and to determine retrieved data. In one aspect, the function is XOR. In one aspect, when the number of retrieved components is less than the set number of components, the retrieved data is redacted data, and when the number of retrieved components is equal to the set number of components, the retrieved data is the original data.
