Securing data based on randomization

A method, comprising:

• determining, during compile time of an application, at least one random value used to determine a partition size, a set of storage locations, and an access threshold for a data element during execution of the application;
• partitioning a data element into a plurality of data segments that each have a size that is randomly determined, during execution of the application, based on the at least one random value used to determine the partition size;
• randomly determining a first set of storage locations for the plurality of data segments, during execution of the application, based on the at least one random value for the set of storage locations;
• and
• randomly determining a second set of storage locations for the plurality of data segments, during execution of the application, based on the at least one random value for the set of storage locations in response to the randomly-determined access threshold being satisfied.

An apparatus, comprising:

• means for determining, during compile time of an application, at least one random value used to determine a partition size, a set of storage locations, and an access threshold for a data element during execution of the application;
• means for partitioning a data element into a plurality of data segments that each have a size that is randomly determined, during execution of the application, based on the at least one random value used to determine the partition size;
• means for randomly determining a first set of storage locations for the plurality of data segments, during execution of the application, based on the at least one random value for the set of storage locations;
• and
• means for randomly determining a second set of storage locations for the plurality of data segments, during execution of the application, based on the at least one random value for the set of storage locations in response to the randomly-determined access threshold being satisfied.
