Ensuring information security in data transfers by utilizing decoy data

Abstract:

Aspects of the disclosure relate to ensuring information security in data transfers by utilizing decoy data. A computing platform may receive, from a data source computing device, a source data collection for a secure physical-storage-media data transfer and may identify one or more transmission parameters associated with the secure physical-storage-media data transfer. Subsequently, the computing platform may generate decoy data and may produce a secure dataset for the secure physical-storage-media data transfer by combining the decoy data with the source data collection received from the data source computing device. Then, the computing platform may encrypt the secure dataset based on the one or more transmission parameters to produce an encrypted dataset for the secure physical-storage-media data transfer. After encrypting the secure dataset based on the one or more transmission parameters to produce the encrypted dataset, the computing platform may store the encrypted dataset on one or more physical media.
