National Taiwan University Assigned Patent

National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, has been assigned a patent (11,455,103) developed by Lin, Tsung-Nan, and Huang, Yu-Ping, Taipei, Taiwan, for a “cloud secured storage system utilizing multiple cloud servers with processes of file segmentation, encryption and generation of data chunks.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A cloud secured storage system is provided in a peer-to-peer network that includes a client end and a farm end. A user file is segmented and a hash function is used for encryption to generate a plurality of data chunks together with an Information Dispersal Algorithm. The plurality of data chunks are respectively stored in a plurality of cloud servers. The plurality of cloud servers backup the plurality of data chunks as a backup file. If the data chunk in one of the plurality of cloud servers is lost, the adjacent cloud server transmits the backup file to the cloud server where the data chunk is lost. The cloud secured storage system of the present disclosure successfully stores the user file in the plurality of cloud servers to prevent cyberattacks owing to the process of file segmentation, encryption, backup file, and algorithm.”

The patent application was filed on September 17, 2020 (17/023,816).
