Abstract

See full text

A method begins by a processing module receiving data segments of a data stream to produce received data segments. The method continues with the processing module encrypting a data segment of the received data segments to produce an encrypted data segment and dispersed storage error encoding the encrypted data segment to produce a set of encoded data slices in order of receiving the data segments. The method continues with the processing module buffering encoded data slices of sets of the encoded data slices unit to produce buffered encoded data slices and comparing a number of buffered encoded data slices to a threshold. The method continues with the processing module outputting the encoded data slices of the buffered encoded data slices based on a pseudo-random sequencing order when the number of buffered encoded data slices compares favorably to the threshold.
