Patent ID: 8468345

Claim:
A method for hosting data, comprising: receiving, by at least one computing device in a first region of control from at least one computing device in a second region of control, obscured data formed from application of at least one first mathematical transformation of data for a defined data set of the at least one computing device in the second region of control; receiving, by the at least one computing device in the first region of control, obscured metadata formed from application of an analysis of the data and at least one second mathematical transformation of an output of the analysis; and determining at least one container of a plurality of containers of at least two disparate container types in which to store at least one of the obscured data or the obscured metadata within the first region of control; wherein the first and second mathematical transformations utilize cryptographic key information provided by at least one computing device in a third region of control, wherein the first region of control, the second region of control and the third region of control are distinct.
