Secure data storage based on obfuscation by distribution

Abstract:

Aspects of the present invention disclose a method for securely storing data. The method includes one or more computer processors receiving, by one or more computer processors, a request to store data, wherein the data includes a plurality of elements. The method further includes generating a plurality of elements of encoded data by on applying one or more encoding algorithms to the data, wherein a quantity of the plurality of elements of the encoded data is equal to a quantity of the plurality of elements of the data. The method further includes distributing the plurality of elements of the encoded data into two or more subsets of the encoded data, without duplication. The method further includes transmitting the two or more subsets of the encoded data to a corresponding quantity of two or more storage systems.
