A digital storage system for storing digital documents, the system comprising a trusted storage service provider including an encryption module for encrypting a digital document prior to storage thereof using an encryption key generated using a random number generator, remote archive storage sites for storing the encrypted item of data, and a corporate key store for storing an n-bit decryption key (which maybe the same as the encryption key or maybe different, but mathematically related thereto) for use in decrypting a document if required, the system further comprising a key degrading module for progressively degrading said decryption key by periodically discarding or changing at least one bit at a time thereof. |
