P2P, secure, distribute, data repositories
People who value data need to store it somewhere. Usually the choice is a big monolithic building with tons of concrete, lad, stainless steel, guards, dogs, electric fences, passwords, you name it.
There could be another alternative.
USB pen drives.
HUh?
Well think about it. It shouldnt be too hard to fit USB pen drives with WiFi or whatever wireless technology is suitable. Then you have a little bit of P2P code running on the drive that stores a meg or two of random data somewhere on the drive.
In this way you can have a P2P network containing your information distributed all over the (technologically advanced) world. The data is safe because there is never enough of it in one place to be downloaded and analysed and it is safe from destruction because the same code is located in many mnay different locations.
The idea is that the meg or so on the pen drive will contain packets of data belonging to numerous documents of different people.
How do you get it to these folks and get it back?
Fucked if I know - I think the ideas up, I dont implement them...
