Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A secure data parser is provided that may be integrated into any suitable system for securely storing and communicating data. The secure data parser may split or share a data set into multiple portions that are stored or communicated distinctly. Encryption of the original data, the portions of data, or both may be employed for additional security. The secure data parser may be used to protect data in motion by splitting an original data set into portions of data that may be communicated using one or more communications paths. Secure workgroup communication is supported through the secure distribution and management of a workgroup key for use with the secure data parser.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for secure workgroup communication, the method comprising: generating a workgroup key update message for a workgroup, wherein the workgroup key update message includes a workgroup key and a time to live (TTL) value for the workgroup key, and wherein the workgroup includes a plurality of parent nodes and child nodes, each of the child nodes being associated with one or more of the parent nodes; encrypting the workgroup key update message using a pl…
