Abstract: A method and system operate to secure and efficiently manage data. The method includes performing steps such as generating independent keys corresponding to multiple portions of segmented data and utilizing the independent keys to encrypt the multiple portions of segmented data. The method additionally includes generating a master key, encrypting the independent keys with the master key, and storing each portion of the segmented data adjacent to the corresponding independent key in a data and key storage device. The method additionally includes segmenting the master key, thereby creating multiple master key segments and storing the multiple master key segments in disparate locations separate from the data.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide an improved distributed computing system. Entities in the distributed computing system may be divided into four categories: writers, readers, gateways, and applications. End users may interact with the system via the applications through the gateways. The role of writers and readers may be separated to distribute computational burdens. Writers may generate messages for an event stream. The messages may include a timestamp for consistent global ordering. The readers may arrange messages from various writers based on the timestamps to generate globally time-consistent event streams.
