Abstract: Methods for data storage protection and encryption are disclosed. In some of these methods, the method may include any of the following, among other things, storing information about the storage format to a Geometrical Cell Location Table (GCLT), shuffling a Geometrical Cell Location Table giving rise to a Shuffled Geometrical Cell Location Table (SGCLT), encrypting data using more than one key, renewing content, and/or filling empty sectors with encrypted data.
