Method and Computer Program for Checking File System Integrity and Data Processing Device Therefor
Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.
This patent describes a method and computer program for verifying the integrity of a file system within a data processing device. The approach involves creating a tree-like data structure of files, generating a sequential structure from it, and then comparing this structure to a reference to determine if the integrity of the file system is maintained.
Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.
- Ensuring the integrity of operating system file systems in computers and servers
- Monitoring file systems in embedded systems or IoT devices for unauthorized changes
- Securing file systems used in critical infrastructure or industrial control systems
- Providing integrity checking mechanisms for cloud storage or network-attached storage solutions
- Detecting unauthorized modifications or corruption in financial or healthcare data storage systems
BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.
- Improves data security by detecting unauthorized file changes or corruption
- Automates the process of file system integrity verification, reducing manual checks
- Enhances reliability and trust in digital systems by maintaining consistent data structures
- Can be integrated into existing data processing solutions with minimal disruption
- Supports compliance with data integrity requirements in regulated industries

Patent Abstract
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Überprüfen der Dateisystemintegrität einer Dateiverwaltung einer Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung, wobei die Dateiverwaltung der Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung eine Mehrzahl von Dateien für die Datenverarbeitungsfunktion der Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung enthält. Hierfür wird zunächst eine baumartige Datenstruktur der Dateien der Dateiverwaltung bereitgestellt und anschließend basierend hierauf eine sequentielle Datenstruktur erstellt. Durch Vergleich der sequentiellen Datenstruktur mit einer vorherigen Referenz-Datenstruktur kann dann die Dateisystemintegrität festgestellt werden.
