NEC announces development of secret dispersion technologies
Feb 23, 2012 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) --
NEC Corporation, a provider of information technology and network solutions, has announced the development of secret dispersion technologies that disperse and save confidential information, even in open environments such as cloud computing networks.
Secret dispersion technologies manage data by dispersing it into multiple parts and restoring the data based on specific requests. These technologies are expected to prevent data from leaking when saving important information, the company said.
These newly developed technologies enables key data to be restored by collecting a range of check digit data, which confirms when tampering takes place, then using an optimized combination of error-correcting code technologies that correct communication and memory errors and conventional secret dispersion technologies. This enables tampering to be identified with only about 20 bytes of check digit data, which is nearly the same data size as secret information and doesn't require the maintenance of heavy key data used by conventional technologies.
This further enables secret dispersion technologies to be utilized for storing large-scale data, including cloud environments, by safely and securely saving important information without the need for high-capacity disks, the company added.
