Another approach of the present invention provides methods and systems in which the secure data parser is used to disperse packets of data into shares. A set of tunnels is established within a communication channel using a set of certificate authorities, keys developed during the establishment of the tunnels are used to encrypt shares of data for each of the tunnels, and the shares of data are transmitted through each of the tunnels. Accordingly, trust is distributed among a set of certificate authorities in the structure of the communication channel itself. | 10-09-2014 |
20140310516 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SECURING DATA IN MOTION - Two approaches are provided for distributing trust among certificate authorities. Each approach may be used to secure data in motion. One approach provides methods and systems in which a secure data parser is used to distribute trust in a set of certificate authorities during initial negotiation (e.g., the key establishment phase) of a connection between two devices. Another approach of the present invention provides methods and systems in which the secure data parser is used to disperse packets of data into shares.

20140372756 | 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. | 12-18-2014 |
20140372770 | 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. | 12-18-2014 |
