I get asked about this all the time, so here are some instructions and tips
Abstract
This document outlines a method for encoding, storing, and transmitting a file to one or more recipients securely by creating multiple bit streams that essentially contain no viable content, but by which the recipient can re-construct the original content.
This is achieved by using a symmetric operation to decompose a “high value” byte sequence (such as a file containing confidential data) in to blocks of random bit strings, and using hash “label” values to retrieve known bit blocks in order to reconstruct the original high-value byte sequence, based on instructions and label values contained in a “blueprint” string sequence.
Technical Assertions:
- A symmetric bitwise operation, such as XOR or EQV can be used to split a high-value bit sequence in to two random sequences that can be recombined in to the original sequence
- A hash function can be used to generate hash “label” values for a given bit sequence, that can be used as an index for storing and retrieving a specific bit sequence.
- Salt Data can be used to generate multiple, unique hash values for the same bit sequence, and can be used to generate multiple, unique index functions.
- A blueprint string containing hash values and assembly instructions can be used to locate, download, transform, and assemble various blocks of random bit strings in order to reconstruct the original high-value bit sequence.
- Using overlapping hash indices, multiple equivalent blueprints can be constructed that represent the same original bit sequence. This allows mutation and randomization when sharing blueprints.
There has been more written on Telecommunications Etiquette than one could publish in a single volume, or even perhaps in ten.
This post is an attempt to frame out, at a high level, how to politely and professionally engage and communicate with someone electronically, and call out several major “DOs” and “DON’Ts”.
