Benefits of technology

This patent describes a way to securely store important data on computer systems. It involves using a special device called a positioning system to determine where each piece of data should be kept away from others. When this happens, it doesn't modify or change anything about the original data. If they don't, then the modified data can still be used.

Problems solved by technology

This patent describes how companies, organizations, and other publicly owned institutions store important and sensitive data on their computer networks. These data may include credit card numbers, bank details, medical records, and personal identification codes. If someone tries to gain access to this data through an unsecured facility, they will find it easily accessible without being able to decrypt any sensitive data.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIG. 1, a block diagram of a first embodiment of a system for securing the confidentiality of electronically stored data in the event of a physical theft thereof in accordance with the present invention is shown and is referenced generally by numeral 10. As used herein, the term “physical theft” refers to a physical taking by which the system and / or the device(s) used to electronically store data are physically moved from their intended or authorized location.

[0014]System 10 includes one or more data storage devices 12, a position determination system 14 attached or otherwise mechanically coupled to data storage device(s) 12, and a data transfer processor 16 having a data inflation processing scheme programmed therein. Data storage device(s) 12 can be any data storage medium used to electronically store data. Such data storage media include but are not limited to chip-based read only memory (ROM) or random access memory (R

Abstract

To secure the confidentiality of data stored in data storage devices, a position determination system is mechanically coupled to the data storage devices and continuously determines a position thereof. A processor, provided with an authorized location for the data storage devices, facilitates transfer of data to and from the data storage devices. Specifically, when the position of the data storage devices matches the authorized location, the processor facilitates transfer of data from the data storage devices without any modification of the data. However, when the position of the data storage means does not match the authorized location, the processor inflates the data by dispersing it in a very large set of irrelevant data.
