A method for reconstructing a digital image based on digital fragments of the digital image, in which the aforesaid digital fragments derive from the fragmentation of a digital image, is described. Each digital fragment corresponds to a respective micro-fraction of digital image. Each digital fragment is fungible and represents a minute portion of digital image which is substantially equivalent to every other fragment of the same digital image. The method comprises the step of assigning, to different users, respective groups of digital fragments which are disjoint from one another, i.e., they do not contain duplicate digital fragments, such that the sum of all the groups of digital fragments allows exactly reconstructing the whole original digital image. Each of such groups of digital fragments comprises a limited number of digital fragments assigned based on a random and scattered allocation of the digital fragments of the whole original digital image. The method then includes reconstructing a digital representation of the original digital image based on the aforesaid group of digital fragments, by means of at least one algorithm for digital image processing and/or reconstruction.
