Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 3:
4. A method for enhancing the security of email contents comprising:
storing items of user data in different electronic components in a computer system, the electronic components of the system comprising at least a user device, a central server, an email server, and at least-M individual electronic components for each user, the data items of each different user comprising at least one encrypted logical address, the contents of at least one encrypted email, and at least one decryption key corresponding to the encrypted logical address, wherein each different electronic component requires a separate cyber-attack to compromise any items of user data stored therein, and the data items are distributed across the electronic components of the system such that:
the email contents of any single user are safe against a cyber-attack that compromises only M electronic components of the computer system;
the email contents of any single user can be compromised only when at least M+1 electronic components of the computer system are compromised as the result of a cyber-attack; and
the email contents of N users can be compromised only when at least (M×N)+1 electronic components of the computer system are compromised as the result of a cyber-attack, where M is the number of individual electronic components per user in the system and N is the number of users.
