Abstract
This disclosure is directed to a computing system that performs techniques relating to the secure storage, maintenance, and retrieval of data. Techniques described in this disclosure may prevent, limit, or otherwise insulate the data from unauthorized access by hackers, rogue devices, and unauthorized users. In some examples, a computing system may store a file by fracturing the file into multiple data blocks, encrypting the data blocks or the data stored within the data blocks, and storing the data blocks in scattered locations on a network. Further, the computing system may occasionally move at least some of the stored data blocks, and may, upon moving such data blocks, reencrypt the moved data blocks with a different encryption key. Still further, the computing system may inject fake data and/or fake data blocks into the system.
