Method for protecting a memory card, and a memory card

A method for protecting a memory card comprising memory locations for storing information, said memory being addessable by memory addresses, the method comprising:

• (a) generating a pseudo-random sequence of memory addresses using a password, the memory addresses addressing in memory locations of a memory card;
• (b) dividing information to store on the memory card into a plurality of segment;
• (c) selecting a first address of the generated pseudo-random sequence of memory addresses;
• (d) selecting a first segment of the plurality of segments;
• (e) storing the selected segment in the selected first address;
• and
• (f) repeating (e) with a next address of the pseudo-random sequence of memory address selected as the first address and with a next segment of the plurality of segments selected as the first segment until the plurality of segments are stored in the memory card.

A computer-readable medium including computer-readable instructions that upon execution by a processor, cause the processor to protect a memory card comprising memory locations for storing information, the memory locations addressable by memory addresses, the instructions configured to cause a computing device to:

• (a) generate a pseudo-random sequence of memory addresses using a password, the memory addresses addressing memory locations of memory card;
• (b) divide information to store on the memory card into a plurality of segments:
• (c) select a first address of the generated pseudo-random sequence of memory addresses;
• (d) select a first segment of the plurality of segments;
• (e) store the selected first segment in the selected first address;
• and
• (f) repeat (e) with a next address of the pseudo-random sequence of memory addresses selected as the first address and with a next segment of the plurality of segments selected as the first segment until the plurality of segments are stored in the memory card.
