Abstract:
A secure storage system and method for storing electronic material, e.g., digital files, is disclosed. In the system and method, a digital file is broken down into file fragments and one or more fragments are stored on a distributed ledger or distributed ledgers, and the remaining (one or more) fragments are stored off the distributed ledger, e.g., on a secure server or servers, and/or on a user device or devices. The files that are stored may be biometric or partial biometric files. The files may be encrypted or hashed. The file fragments are preferably unintelligible except when decrypted and fully assembled. For example, theft or copying or hacking of one file fragment will not be effective to steal or copy intelligible, useful information. In some embodiments, the benefits of storage on a distributed ledger or distributed ledgers are combined with the benefits of storage on a secure server or servers (and/or on a user's device or devices) or both.

Claim (Index 17):
The system of  claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to, in response to a user request for access to stored information in the system associated with the user, authenticate the user prior to granting access, including comparing at least a portion of a hash of a biometric graphics file newly received by the system from the user with a hash reassembled from the obtained from the at least first fragment from in the distributed data storage system and the at least second fragment from outside of the distributed data storage system, a positive match being required as at least part of authenticating the user, and wherein the processor is configured to, in response to a user request for access to stored information in the system associated with the user, authenticate the user prior to granting access, including comparing the subset of the feature blocks of the biometric graphics with a file a corresponding subset of feature blocks of a newly received biometric file by the system from the user, a positive match being required as at least part of authenticating the user.
