Encoded data along tape based on colorspace schemes

A method comprising:

• scanning a tape contained an encrypted plurality of data, wherein the encrypted plurality of data encrypted is encrypted based on a conversion from a first colorspace to a second colorspace, wherein the first colorspace is a distinct type of colorspace in relation to the second colorspace, and wherein the second colorspace is associated with a plurality of color-channels between a first color-channel and a second color-channel of the first colorspace, wherein the first color-channel and the second color-channel are associated with a most prevalent color and a least prevalent color of the first color-channel, respectively, wherein the least prevalent color is determined based on a distance between the most prevalent color and the least prevalent color in a distribution of the first colorspace;
• and
• decrypting, by a computer processor and based on the scanning, the encrypted plurality of data, wherein the decryption is based on a decryption cipher, and wherein the decryption cipher is based on the second colorspace.

An article of manufacture comprising:

• a tape including alternating segments of a plurality of encoded data, wherein each encoded segment is encoded based on a colorspace conversion from one colorspace to another colorspace, and wherein at least two alternating segments are associated with a distinct key for decrypting the respective encoded data associated with each of the at least two alternating segments, and wherein a first of the distinct keys is based on a first colorspace conversion and wherein a second of the distinct keys is based on a second colorspace conversion, wherein the first colorspace conversion is distinct from the second colorspace conversion, wherein the second colorspace conversion is based on a plurality of color-channels between a first color-channel and a second color-channel of a first colorspace, wherein the first color-channel and the second color-channel are associated with a most prevalent color and a least prevalent color of the first color-channel, respectively, and wherein the least prevalent color is determined based on a distance between the most prevalent color and the least prevalent color in a distribution of the first colorspace.
