Patent number: 12689504Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptive recursive descent data redundancy are described herein. In one embodiment, a method can include identifying the data object or file for Quantum Fragmentation, determining, via a first portion of a Quantum Fragmentation instance, a factor of fragmentation for the data object or file, transforming the data object or file into a plurality of first data fragments according to the factor of fragmentation by applying one or more cryptographic processing, integrity checking, and resilient fragmentation schemes, via the first portion of the Quantum Fragmentation instance, and persisting, via the first portion of the Quantum Fragmentation instance, each of the plurality of first data fragments to a data store of a plurality of available Cloud or other data stores or to a subsequent portion of the Quantum Fragmentation instance, wherein the persistence for each of the first data fragment occurs independently from the other first data fragments.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2024Date of Patent: July 21, 2026Assignee: CYBORN LIMITEDInventors: David Lanc, Sophie Lanc, Josh Fraser, Lachlan Mackinnon, Jamie Hunter, Iain Sutherland

Patent number: 11991279Abstract: A method of securely storing data including providing, within a secure data storage system, a plurality of secret sharing methods for selection and identifying a striping policy for storage of the data, in accordance with input preferences. The data can be split into N secret shares according to a secret sharing method, the selection being determined by the striping policy, wherein a threshold number, T, of such shares is sufficient to recover the data, where T is less than N, generating metadata associated with the data, the metadata identifying the selected secret sharing method and storing the metadata within the secure data storage system and writing the secret shares to storage that includes storage outside the secure data storage system, such that, when at least T shares are retrieved, the metadata can be recalled to identify the selected secret sharing method for recovery of the data.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: LEADING SOFTWARE LIMITEDInventors: David Lanc, Lu Fan, Lachlan Mackinnon, Bill Buchanan
