Abstract: Systems and methods of transmitting data from one location to another location that can be used in a number of applications including, but not limited to, secure transmission of data from one location to another and secure data backup. In one embodiment, a data file is split into pieces and the pieces are placed randomly in a diverse mesh of online cloud storage providers. So all the data is not sitting in a single point of failure and with the entire file available for theft. Each piece of data is given a randomized numerical code that determines where the packet of data is stored. Also, the pieces of data can be encrypted.

Abstract: Systems for converting data are provided. In one embodiment, a data conversion system is provided that includes a client module. The client module includes a conversion portion and an existing file segment database. The conversion portion is configured to partition a file to be converted into a plurality of file segments. The existing file segment database portion is configured to store one or more existing file segments and one or more key values, each of the one or more key values associated with one of the one or more existing file segments. The conversion portion is also configured to assign a key value to each of the plurality of file segments and to create a key value file with the assigned key values.

Abstract: Methods of converting data are provided. In one embodiment, a data conversion method is provided that includes partitioning the data file into a plurality of file segments. The method also includes assigning a plurality of key values for each of the plurality of file segments. Also, the method includes forming a key value file from the plurality of key values.

Abstract: Devices for converting data are provided. In one embodiment, a data conversion device is provided that includes a conversion portion and an existing file segment database portion. The conversion portion is configured to partition a file to be converted into a plurality of file segments. The existing file segment database portion is connected to the conversion portion. Also, the existing file segment database portion is configured to store one or more existing file segments and one or more key values, each of the one or more key values associated with one of the one or more existing file segments. The conversion portion is also configured to assign a key value to each of the plurality of file segments and to create a key value file with the assigned key values.

Abstract: Secured electronic data storage on a hard drive is described. A computer system that incorporates the hard drive includes a shrink, shred, and data randomization algorithm built into the read/write function of the computer system for the purposes of securing any data that is stored on the hard drive. Data to be stored on the hard drive is processed using the algorithm which shrinks, shreds, and randomly distributes the data into multiple storage locations, for example multiple partitions of storage, different data storage drives of the hard drive, different folders of a storage device, and the like. An electronic log of where the data is distributed is kept in electronic data storage, on the computer system and/or separate from the computer system, that allows the data on the hard drive to be retrieved, reassembled, decompressed, and if necessary decrypted, upon receipt of a read/access request.
