Cloud computing secure data storage

A machine readable non-transitory medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed, cause a cloud computing resource in a cloud computing environment to provide a secure data storage service by:

• partitioning a data resource into a plurality of data particles;
• changing, over time, a logical separation and a physical separation of the data particles by repeatedly:
• assigning a plurality of logic groups to the data particles, wherein each logic group includes one or more data particles including at least one communication data particle, wherein the one or more data particles in each of the logic groups is configured to communicate with any other data particle in that logic group, and wherein each communication data particle is configured to communicate with the cloud computing resource;
• assigning a plurality of physical storage groups to the data particles, wherein each of the physical storage groups includes one or more data particles;
• and
• storing each physical storage group at a corresponding storage resource of a plurality of storage resources of the cloud computing environment, wherein each storage resource is physically separate from the other storage resources;
• receiving a request for the data resource from a client;
• determining whether the request for the data resource is valid;
• and
• if the request for the data resource is valid, transmitting the data particles of the data resource to the client.
