Application patching using variable-sized units

A system for application patching comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory coupled to the processor;
• non-transitory instruction embedded in memory that when executed cause the processor to carry out the method comprising;
• a) concatenating uncompressed data into a continuous data set;
• b) dividing the continuous data set into variable sized data chunks;
• c) compressing each of the variable sized data chunks;
• d) dividing the variable sized data chunks into fixed size data blocks;
• e) encrypting the fixed size data blocks to generate encrypted fixed size data blocks;
• f) sending the encrypted fixed size data blocks over a network.

Non-transitory instructions embedded in a computer readable medium that, when executed, cause a computer to carry out the method for application patching, the method comprising:

• a) concatenating uncompressed data into a continuous data set;
• b) dividing the continuous data set into variable sized data chunks;
• c) compressing each of the variable sized data chunks;
• d) dividing the variable sized data chunks into fixed size data blocks;
• e) encrypting the fixed size data blocks to generate encrypted fixed size data blocks;
• f) sending the encrypted fixed size data blocks over a network.
