20110197056SECURE DISTRIBUTED STORAGE SYSTEM AND METHOD - Moving from server-attached storage to distributed storage brings new vulnerabilities in creating a secure data storage and access facility. The Data Division and Out-of-order keystream Generation technique provides a cryptographic method to protect data in the distributed storage environments. In the technique, the Treating the data as a binary bit stream, our self-encryption (SE) scheme generates a keystream by randomly extracting bits from the stream. The length of the keystream depends on the user's security requirements. The bit stream is encrypted and the ciphertext is stored on the mobile device, whereas the keystream is stored separately. This makes it computationally not feasible to recover the original data stream from the ciphertext alone.08-11-2011

An expression specifying one or more updates to be applied to the document is received. The document is searched to find update target position(s). Based on the received expression, a pending update list is built. When an update target position is found, a row of a document column in a base table is updated with the new version number for the document. New database records for insertion into the new document version are generated from the pending update list. Old database records to be replaced are identified. A database table for the document is updated to mark the old database records as obsolete and to add new database records to be referenced in the new version of the document.03-29-2012
