Abstract
A method for securing data by embedding the data in a data structure and utilizing a sensor to detect transfer of the data structure. The data is embedded such that the data is only accessible by first executing an executable program. If the executable program determines that the device attempting to access the data (the accessing device) does not have permission to access the data, then the executable program destroys the data. If the data structure is transferred to another device, a sensor positioned to detect the data structure when transferred will identify the data. If the sensor determines that the data structure is not permitted to be transferred, then the sensor destroys the data.
