Abstract
A device, method, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment the device includes logic to handle and protect data. Specifically, the device includes logic to segment data that can receive a data object that needs to be stored. The logic within the device can segment the data object into a plurality of data segments. A segmented portion of the data object is an incomprehensible portion the data object when viewed in the segmented format. The device can then send each of the data segments to a several different storage locations.
