Abstract
A secure information storage management system may securely manage the storage of confidential information. A randomizer module may randomly generate a schema that specifies a random number of pieces, a random size for each piece, a random sequence for the pieces, and/or a random location where each piece is to be stored. The randomizer module may divide the confidential information into pieces that collectively constitute the confidential information in conformance with the schema. A storage management module may cause each piece of confidential information to be stored at a different, non-contiguous storage location. When present, the storage management module may cause each piece to be stored at the location for it that is specified in the schema.
