Use case · Ransomware Immunity
Ransom immunity is not faster recovery. It is data that was never vulnerable. Myota encrypts and splits every file and object at write time with Shard and Spread™, before any access control is ever tested, so an attacker who gets in finds only fragments that are individually useless.
How it works
AES-256 on the client, and only you hold the key. Data is protected before it lands anywhere, so there is no window where a complete, readable file exists.
The data, its metadata, and its keys are split with Shamir Secret Sharing and spread across four independent locations. No location holds anything reassemblable.
Any two of the four locations reconstruct the data in full, instantly. Anything less is information-theoretically useless, regardless of computing power.
What it removes
Computationally impossible to encrypt or ransom sharded data.
No complete file exists at any single location to destroy.
Stolen shards without quorum are mathematically useless.
Admin credentials cannot override shard-level immutability.
Protection is at the data layer, not the perimeter that was breached.
Privileged access cannot reconstitute data without quorum.
Why it holds
Immutability is a mathematical property of the architecture, not a setting an administrator can override. Below quorum, reconstruction is information-theoretically impossible, regardless of computing power. There is no control plane, no catalog, and no key vault to attack. The properties behind it are patented (US 11,281,790).
