A Cryptographic Protocol for Communication in a Redundant Array of Independent Net-storages

Abstract

This paper describes a cryptographic protocol for storing and processing data in a Cloud Computing setting, where users need not place absolute trust in the various Cloud Processing providers. This is achieved by distributing data among various Cloud Storage providers in such a manner that an individual data item does not divulge useful information about its owner, and only re-assembling data when it needs to be processed or returned to the user
