Secure anonymous storage of user data on a peer-to-peer network

摘要

This invention allows users to maximise their use of existing storage, processing power and network bandwidth resources. This is achieved through providing an enhanced level of data backup and restore that employs the initial encryption of data and storing one user's data on another user's hard drives through an anonymsing process. The efficiency of this process is enhanced when this invention is used in conjunction with self authentication which then provides the ability to log into a network anonymously from potentially anywhere.
