## Abstract

A method of encoding data, including: obtaining a data stream comprising a first sequence of values; duplicating of the first sequence of values; offsetting the duplicate first sequence of values; braiding the first sequence of values and the offset duplicate first sequence of values, creating a braided data sequence; and outputting the braided data sequence.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of encoding data, comprising:
obtaining a data stream comprising a first sequence of values;
duplicating of the first sequence of values;
offsetting the duplicate first sequence of values;
braiding the first sequence of values together with the offset duplicate first sequence of values, creating a braided data sequence, the braided data sequence comprising the first sequence of values interwoven with the offset duplicate first sequence of values;
generating a decoding key for decoding the braided data sequence, the decoding key identifying which values in the braided data sequence correspond to the first sequence of values and which values in the braided data sequence correspond to the duplicated first sequence of values; and
outputting the braided data sequence.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein duplicating the first sequence of values comprises generating a duplicate of the first sequence of values in volatile memory.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein duplicating the first sequence of values comprises storing the first sequence of values in a time-delayed buffer.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein offsetting the duplicate first sequence of values comprises feeding the duplicate first sequence of values through a delay circuit.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, where outputting the braided data sequence comprises transmitting the braided data sequence to a remote system.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 further comprising storing the braided data sequence in a persistent memory.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 further comprising encrypting the decoding key.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the braided data sequence provides redundancy by comprising the first sequence of values and the offset duplicate first sequence of values.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the braided data sequence provides data encryption by interweaving the first sequence of values with the offset duplicate first sequence of values.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

obtaining a data stream comprising a first sequence of values;
duplicating of the first sequence of values;
offsetting the duplicate first sequence of values;
generating a randomized sequence of values;
braiding the first sequence of values together with the offset duplicate first sequence of values and the randomized sequence of values, creating a braided data sequence, the braided data sequence comprising the first sequence of values interwoven with the offset duplicate first sequence of values and the randomized sequence of values; and
generating a decoding key for decoding the braided data sequence, the decoding key identifying which values in the braided data sequence correspond to the first sequence of values and which values in the braided data sequence correspond to the duplicated first sequence of values;
outputting the braided data sequence.

duplicating of the first sequence of values;
offsetting the duplicate first sequence of values;
braiding the first sequence of values together with the second sequence of values, the third sequence of values, and the offset duplicate first sequence of values, creating a braided data sequence, the braided data sequence comprising the first sequence of values interwoven with the second sequence of values, the third sequence of values, and the offset duplicate first sequence of values;
