SYSTEM FOR SECURING ELECTRONIC DATA BY AGGREGATION OF DISTRIBUTED ELECTRONIC DATABASE ENTRIES

Abstract:

A system is provided for securing electronic data by aggregation of distributed electronic database entries. The system may comprise two or more data repositories that may be logically and/or physically separated from one another. Incoming data may be split into multiple parts that may be stored in a distributed manner across the two or more data repositories. Each of the parts of the incoming data may be associated with an identifier and/or a sequence number such that the system, upon receiving a user query for such data, may aggregate the individual parts of the data in the correct sequence. In some embodiments, the system may further use an obfuscation algorithm to apply randomized values to the identifiers and/or sequence numbers and track the operations performed in an obfuscation log. In this way, the system may provide a way to securely store and retrieve data to prevent unauthorized access.
