Decentralised data storage method and medium within a network

A digital data storage medium encoding a machine-executable program of instructions to perform a method of storing data within a network, wherein the network comprises a plurality of decentralised electronic data processing (EDP) units, wherein the method comprises:

• arranging a first EDP unit recording data, wherein the first EDP unit has a communication means, and wherein there is at least one sensor arrangement assigned to the first EDP unit;
• storing a data set that comprises the data recorded by the sensor arrangement of the first EDP unit or that has been generated from these data, distributed over a number of the decentralised EDP units, wherein each EDP unit has a communication means, and wherein there is at least one sensor arrangement respectively assigned to at least one of the EDP units;
• and
• at least partially deleting the data set after the distribution of the data set on the first EDP unit.
