There are numerous far-reaching benefits to Perpetual Data's method of data storage, including;
-
No single chunk can tell you where the other pieces of the original file are on the
network, so even if a hacker decrypts a chunk (this in itself being computationally
near-impossible), they cannot get the whole file.
-
Since you are the only one who holds the key to reassmbling the pieces of your files,
(through your username, pin and password) absolutely no-one can access them unless you
choose to let them.
-
You are completely anonymous when using Perpetual Data since your login credentials are stored
in the same way as any other data on the system. This means that your login details are never
transmitted over the internet - they are chunked and encrypted before they are sent. Hence
there is no central server with a list of users' details.
-
As copies of chunks are stored far and wide across the entire internet, even a large-scale
event causing a section of the internet to go offline will not stop Perpetual Data from
functioning.
-
The way in which files are stored avoids data duplication, so that large amounts of
storage space can be released.
