20 Claims

1. A device comprising:

a processor;

an image data store, coupled to the processor;

wherein the image data store non-transiently stores computer instructions, which upon execution by the processor, instantiate a re-imager engine; and

a communication interface coupled to at least the processor;

wherein when instantiating the re-imager engine, the device performs operations comprising:

locating an Image Data Volume (IDV); wherein the IDV includes a first Image Data Segment (IDS), and respective second (2^nd) through N^th(2^nd-N^th) IDSs;

retrieving the first IDS;

generating a first signature for the first IDS;

encrypting the first signature and the first IDS;

generating a second signature for the, as encrypted, first IDS;

generating a first header for the, as encrypted, first IDS;

compressing the first header and the, as encrypted, first IDS;

packetizing the as compressed first header and encrypted first IDS into a first IDS packet;

and

upon receiving a request from a second device, communicating the first IDS packet to the second device.
