ABSTRACT:
A method and a system is provided of to process data. For example, the method and system may be used to archive documents. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving original data for archiving and converting the original data into a plurality of shares using secret sharing. The plurality of shares may be distributed (e.g., to a plurality of remote repositories that each store a share. The plurality of shares may be distributed via a wide area network to a plurality of Internet Service Providers, for example, via an email message which is stored thereby to archive the share. A header of the email message may be used as a time stamp for each share. The repositories may be independent and geographically dispersed and a monitor may be provided to monitor a share stored at each repositories.
