Myota immediately encrypts each file and uses cryptographic secret sharing to shard the data, metadata, and encryption keys — spreading the resulting bits across multiple independent storage repositories. Advanced mathematical techniques make it computationally impossible for attackers to reconstitute sharded data.
Everything you need to understand Myota — in under a minute.
Every file goes through three irreversible steps at the moment it is written. Security is not layered on after the fact — it is the fact.
At the moment data is written, Myota applies 3-layer chained encryption. Security is intrinsic to the data itself — not layered on top after the fact. No OS or application interaction occurs before the data is secured.
Encrypted data is sharded using erasure coding combined with Shamir's Secret Sharing. The result: mathematically independent fragments with no control plane for attackers to exploit. Digital sand.
Shards are spread across independent storage targets — AWS S3, Wasabi, Cloudflare R2, Dell ECS, or any S3-compatible store. Quorum reconstruction allows instant recovery from any two surviving targets.
Each property is an architectural guarantee — not a policy, not a configuration, not a control that can be bypassed.
Security encoded into the data at write time — independent of any perimeter, credential, or control that can fail or be misconfigured.
Each shard is cryptographically meaningless in isolation. The attacker cannot reconstruct anything from what they find.
No privilege level can alter or delete a shard in a way that compromises the whole. Immutability is architectural, not policy-enforced.
Recovery requires no administrator action, no workflow, no window. The system reconstructs from surviving fragments automatically.
Every write point is a restore point. The concept of a backup window — and the exposure it creates — is eliminated entirely.
Runs across any mix of on-premise, cloud, and edge storage. No rip-and-replace. No single vendor dependency.
When the data itself cannot be compromised, the copies maintained to recover from compromise are unnecessary. The cost and complexity disappears with its rationale.
If your data is whole anywhere — or can be reconstructed by anyone who reaches where your data is stored — you have a problem Myota solves.
Myota is the only architecture in the world where neither is true.
That is why the comparison looks the way it does.
Myota is the only architecture in the world where your data is never whole at any single location — and never can be.
