Extraction of Creation-Time for Recovered Files on Windows FAT32 File System

In this article, we propose a creation order reconstruction method of deleted files for the FAT32 file system with Windows operating systems. Creation order of files is established using a correlation between storage locations of the files and their directory entry locations. This method can be utilized to derive the creation-time bound of files recovered without the creation-time information. In this article, we first examine the file allocation behavior of Windows FAT32 file system. Next, based on the examined behavior, we propose a novel method that finds the creation order of deleted files after being recovered without the creation-time information. Due to complex behaviors of Windows FAT32 file system, the method may find multiple creation orders although the actual creation order is unique. In experiments with a commercial device, we confirm that the actual creation order of each recovered file belongs to one of the creation orders found by the method.

PENERAPAN ALGORITMA EVEN-RODEH PADA APLIKASI KOMPRESI FILE GAMBAR

Some image files are very large in size. So it requires a large memory storage capacity too, this is certainly a lot of costs that must be spent on the storage media. With the existence of a very large image file size in the process of sending image data files can fail because the storage media exceeds the maximum limit. The above problems can be overcome by performing the process of compressing large image files into small sizes or can reduce the bit size contained in each image file thereby saving storage containers and simplifying the process of transferring image files to other storage media. The solution to this problem is how the image file can be compressed in order to speed up the transfer and storage of image files. Image file compression aims to reduce or reduce the size of the file but does not eliminate the information data in it. With the compression technique, the data was initially large so that the size of the data can be reduced so as to save storage allocation space. In this study using the Even-Rodeh Code algorithm, using the method results in very good compression in tramisi data and transfer of image file allocation easier and faster.Keywords: Image File Compression, Event Rode Code Algorithm

Optimal Data File Allocation for All-to-All Comparison in Distributed System: A Case Study on Genetic Sequence Comparison

In order to solve the problem of unbalanced load of data les in large-scale data all-to-all comparison under distributed system environment, the differences of les themselves arefully considered. This paper aims to fully utilize the advantages of distributed system to enhance the le allocation of all-to-all comparison between the data les in a large dataset. For this purpose, the author formally described the all-to-all comparison problem, and con-structed a data allocation model via mixed integer linear programming (MILP). Meanwhile, a data allocation algorithm was developed on the Matlab using the intlinprog function of branch-and-bound method. Finally, our model and algorithm were veried through several experiments. The results show that the proposed le allocation strategy can achieve the basic load balance of each node in the distributed system without exceeding the storage capacity of any node, and completely localize the data le. The research ndings can be applied to such elds as bioinformatics, biometrics and data mining.

Security of patient data when decommissioning ultrasound systems

Background Although ultrasound systems generally archive to Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), their archiving workflow typically involves storage to an internal hard disk before data are transferred onwards. Deleting records from the local system will delete entries in the database and from the file allocation table or equivalent but, as with a PC, files can be recovered. Great care is taken with disposal of media from a healthcare organisation to prevent data breaches, but ultrasound systems are routinely returned to lease companies, sold on or donated to third parties without such controls. Methods In this project, five methods of hard disk erasure were tested on nine ultrasound systems being decommissioned: the system’s own delete function; full reinstallation of system software; the manufacturer’s own disk wiping service; open source disk wiping software for full and just blank space erasure. Attempts were then made to recover data using open source recovery tools. Results All methods deleted patient data as viewable from the ultrasound system and from browsing the disk from a PC. However, patient identifiable data (PID) could be recovered following the system’s own deletion and the reinstallation methods. No PID could be recovered after using the manufacturer’s wiping service or the open source wiping software. Conclusion The typical method of reinstalling an ultrasound system’s software may not prevent PID from being recovered. When transferring ownership, care should be taken that an ultrasound system’s hard disk has been wiped to a sufficient level, particularly if the scanner is to be returned with approved parts and in a fully working state.
