Abstract

A mechanism for secure sharing of data within a distributed or peer-to-peer secure/insecure network environment. It is an object of the present invention to obviate the need for file servers and replace their function with a distributed network of preferably standard processing nodes. This network may be private as in a corporate network or an open network like the Internet and it will preferably not contain any lists of user authentication records. Shared access to private files is provided using decentralized and anonymously authenticated shared data areas, which have a granular access restriction. Preferably the data is stored in chunks which are individually hashed and/or encrypted, and furthermore the location of the chunks is identified by data maps which may be shared among authenticated users.
