| 20110258439 | SECURE DATA PARSER METHOD AND SYSTEM - A secure data parser is provided that may be integrated into any suitable system for securely storing and communicating data. The secure data parser parses data and then splits the data into multiple portions that are stored or communicated distinctly. Encryption of the original data, the portions of data, or both may be employed for additional security. The secure data parser may be used to protect data in motion by splitting original data into portions of data, that may be communicated using multiple communications paths. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20110202763 | TAPE BACKUP METHOD - A secure data parser is provided that may be integrated into any suitable system for securely storing and communicating data. The secure data parser parses data and then splits the data into multiple portions that are stored or communicated distinctly. Encryption of the original data, the portions of data, or both may be employed for additional security. The secure data parser may be used to protect data in motion by splitting original data into portions of data, that may be communicated using multiple communications paths. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20110179287 | SECURE DATA PARSER METHOD AND SYSTEM - The present invention provides a method and system for securing sensitive data from unauthorized access or use. The method and system of the present invention is useful in a wide variety of settings, including commercial settings generally available to the public which may be extremely large or small with respect to the number of users. The method and system of the present invention is also useful in a more private setting, such as with a corporation or governmental agency, as well as between corporation, governmental agencies or any other entity. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110179271 | SECURE DATA PARSER METHOD AND SYSTEM - The present invention provides a method and system for securing sensitive data from unauthorized access or use. The method and system of the present invention is useful in a wide variety of settings, including commercial settings generally available to the public which may be extremely large or small with respect to the number of users. The method and system of the present invention is also useful in a more private setting, such as with a corporation or governmental agency, as well as between corporation, governmental agencies or any other entity. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20090254750 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURE WORKGROUP MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION - A secure data parser is provided that may be integrated into any suitable system for securely storing and communicating data. The secure data parser may split or share a data set into multiple portions that are stored or communicated distinctly. Encryption of the original data, the portions of data, or both may be employed for additional security. The secure data parser may be used to protect data in motion by splitting an original data set into portions of data that may be communicated using one or more communications paths. Secure workgroup communication is supported through the secure distribution and management of a workgroup key for use with the secure data parser. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090177894 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURING DATA USING MULTI-FACTOR OR KEYED DISPERSAL - A secure data parser is provided that may be integrated into any suitable system for securely storing and communicating data. The secure data parser parses data and then splits the data into multiple portions that are stored or communicated distinctly. Encryption of the original data, the portions of data, or both may be employed for additional security. The secure data parser may be used to protect data in motion by splitting original data into portions of data, that may be communicated using multiple communications paths. A keyed information dispersal algorithm (keyed IDA) may also be used. The key for the keyed IDA may additionally be protected by an external workgroup key, resulting in a multi-factor secret sharing scheme. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090097661 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING CRYPTOGRAPHIC KEYS - A common interface for managing cryptographic keys is provided. A request to manage a cryptographic key may be received in a first interface format, translated to a common interface format, and then executed remotely from the first interface. Return arguments may then be translated from the common interface format to a format compatible with the first interface and communicated securely to the first interface. The cryptographic keys may be used in connection with a secure data parser that secures data by randomly distributing data within a data set into two or more shares. | 04-16-2009 |
