Boffins boast self-destructing cloud data
Just in time for the evolution to cloud computing, boffins at the University of Washington have developed a tool that makes electronic data self-destruct automatically after a set period of time. The technique is designed to protect people against sensitive information that may linger on computer networks and later come back to …

Now, instead of actual strangers, have several different datacenters, each spending most of their bandwidth confusing themselves about who they're talking to.
