Abstract:
1. A method for securing data, comprising: receiving a data set by processing circuitry; identifying a first subset of data from a first dimension of a multi-dimensional representation of the data set, wherein the first dimension corresponds to a first attribute of the data set; encrypting the first subset of data using a first encryption technique to yield a first encrypted subset of data; replacing the first subset of data in the multi-dimensional representation of the data set with the first encrypted subset of data; identifying a second subset of data from a second dimension of the multi-dimensional representation of the data set, wherein the second subset of data includes overlapping data that corresponds to at least a portion of the first encrypted subset of data, and wherein the second dimension corresponds to a second attribute of the data set that is different from the first attribute; and encrypting the second subset of data using a second encryption technique to yield a second encrypted subset of data, thereby encrypting the overlapping data using the first encryption technique and the second encryption technique.
