Abstract

An information security system that includes a data control engine configured to receive a data request identifying a first reference tag that is associated with a data file. The data control engine is further configured to identify a first set of encrypted data blocks that are linked with the reference tag and location information for the first set of encrypted data blocks from a data information table. The data control engine is further configured to extract the first set of data blocks from a memory based on the location information. The data control engine is further configured to identify access keys associated with the first set of encrypted data blocks from the data information table and to decrypt the first set of encrypted data blocks using the identified access keys. The data control engine is further configured to reconstruct the data file using the decrypted first set of data blocks.
