The invention relates to a method and system for data encryption implemented in conjunction with data transmission over a communications network. According to the invention, an electronic message can be split into at least two parts that are individually forwarded to a receiver (126) via different identities (104, 106, 108, 110). The identities are, e.g., e-mail addresses, servers, subscriber connections or user identifiers. The selection of the identities, advantageously of a concealed character, can be made from a larger group of identities and may be varied on a per message, session or timed basis. Also in the receiving direction of the message it is possible to use plural different identities (114, 116, 118, 120) in the reception of a message. The received parts of the message can be identified among other traffic flow and subsequently combined with each other using key information. The arrangement disclosed herein may also be applied to data storage.
A method for encrypting data in an arrangement where data is transferred from a sender to a receiver over a communications network, characterized in that the method comprises the steps of
(canceled)
A system for encrypting data to be transmitted over a communications network, the system comprising means for data storage (606), means for data processing (610) and means for data transmission (602) between the system and a network element functionally connected with the system, characterized in that the system is arranged to split the data into at least two parts in a fashion substantially unrelated to the data content, the parts being recognizable and connectable with each other by means of key information, and to send the parts independently via different identities, the identities substantially representing at least one of the categories:
A system for receiving data transmitted over a communications network, the system comprising means for data storage (606), means for data processing (610) and means for data reception (602) between the system and a network element functionally connected with the system, characterized in that it is arranged to receive parts of a data entity transmitted via at least two different identities and split into at least two parts in a fashion substantially unrelated to the data content, said identities substantially belonging to at least one of the types:
A system for receiving data transmitted over a communications network, the system comprising means for data storage (606), means for data processing (610) and means for data reception (602) between the system and a network element functionally connected with the system, characterized in that the system is arranged to receive parts of a data entity transmitted via at least two different identities and split into at least two parts in a fashion substantially unrelated to the data content, said identities substantially belonging to at least one of the types:
A method for automated, distributed data storage in an electronic system, characterized in that the method comprises the steps of
A system for data storage, the system comprising means for data processing (610) and means for data transfer (602) between the system and a storage system functionally communicating therewith, characterized in that it is arranged to split a data element into at least two parts in a fashion substantially unrelated to the data content and to transfer said data element parts to a storage system for individually storing the data element parts into storage units included in a group of available storage units.
