ImpraStorage provided a private imap access to store large files. Each file stored on the server is split in severals random parts. Each part also contains random noise data (lenght depends on a crypt key) to ensure privacy and exclude easy merge without the corresponding key. An index of files stored is encrypt (with the symmetric-key algorithm Kirmah) and regularly updated. Once decrypt, it permit to perform search on the server and download each part. transfert process is transparent. Just vizualize locally the index of stored files and simply select files to download or upload. ImpraStorage automatically launch the parts to download, then merge parts in the appropriate way to rebuild the original file. Inversely, a file to upload is split (in several parts with addition of noise data), and ImpraStorage randomly upload each parts then update the index.
