Secured2 Assigned Patent

Secured2 Corporation, Minneapolis, MN, has been assigned a patent (9,767,306) developed by Klum, R. Daren, Shoreview, MN, for a “secured data storage on a hard drive.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Secured electronic data storage on a hard drive is described. A computer system that incorporates the hard drive includes a shrink, shred, and data randomization algorithm built into the read/write function of the computer system for the purposes of securing any data that is stored on the hard drive. Data to be stored on the hard drive is processed using the algorithm which shrinks, shreds, and randomly distributes the data into multiple storage locations, for example multiple partitions of storage, different data storage drives of the hard drive, different folders of a storage device, and the like. An electronic log of where the data is distributed is kept in electronic data storage, on the computer system and/or separate from the computer system, that allows the data on the hard drive to be retrieved, reassembled, decompressed, and if necessary decrypted, upon receipt of a read/access request.“

The patent application was filed on September 18, 2015 (14/858,277).
