Abstract
The present disclosure includes systems and methods for quorum-based data processing, in which quorum portions are distributed to candidate participants in determined proportions that control groups of required participants. In exemplary embodiments, a server generates a plurality of quorum portions from original data, wherein the original data includes secret information for data processing within a secured computing environment, and wherein at least a predetermined minimum number of the quorum portions are required to reconstruct the original data. Sets of quorum portions are determined from said plurality of quorum portions, wherein each set includes a respective proportion of the plurality of quorum portions, and at least one set includes a larger proportion of the quorum portions. Each set of quorum portions is distributed to a respective one of a plurality of computing devices associated with respective participants over a data network within a secured computing environment.
