Patent number: 10877850Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2017Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: SECURED2 CORPORATIONInventors: R. Daren Klum, Mark Hansen

Patent number: 9767306Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2015Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Secured2 CorporationInventor: R.
