Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and embodiments related to improving security of data that is stored and distributed over a data network. In an example, source data to be protected is partitioned into multiple files, and each file is obfuscated, such as by being encrypted, to created multiple obfuscated data files. Information as to how each obfuscated data file was obfuscated is stored in an associated trace file. The multiple obfuscated data files are moved around a data network via a data movement process that includes sending each of the multiple obfuscated data files to a different randomly selected computer, where the computer further obfuscates the obfuscated data the trace file, and sends the further obfuscated data and trace file to a next randomly selected computer. In an example, the various operations for improving security may be performed by an integrated circuit, such as a system-on-chip (SoC) or application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

Claim (Index 1):
An integrated circuit, comprising:\n a processor; a memory coupled to the processor and having instructions executable by the processor to cause the integrated circuit to:\n partition a source data into a plurality of data shards; \n perform an obfuscation operation on each data shard of the plurality of data shards to create a plurality of obfuscated data shards; \n generate, for each data shard of the plurality of data shards, a hash value identifying an obfuscated data shard that corresponds to the hash value, wherein the hash value is generated by executing a hash algorithm on the contents of the obfuscated data shard that corresponds to the hash value; and \n generate, for each data shard of the plurality of data shards, a trace file identifying an obfuscation operation performed on an obfuscated data shard that corresponds to the trace file, wherein the trace file enables regeneration of the source data; and \n a communication interface to exchange data, including transmission of the plurality of obfuscated data shards and the corresponding trace files to a first plurality of network devices.
