The CryptoGraphic Disk Driver
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the design and implementation of CGD, the CryptoGraphic Disk driver. CGD is a pseudo-device driver that sits below the buffer cache, and provides an encrypted view of an underlying raw partition. It was designed with high performance and ease of use in mind. CGD is aimed at laptops, other single-user computers or removable storage, where protection from other concurrent users is not essential, but protection against loss or theft is important.

The Design and Implementation of a DCD Device Driver for Unix
Recent research results [1, 2] using simulation have demonstrated that Disk Caching Disk (DCD), a new disk I/O architecture, has the potential for drastically improving disk write performance besides its higher reliability than traditional disk systems. To validate whether DCD can live up to its promise in the real world environment, we have designed and implemented a DCD device driver for the ...

Nowadays, achieving desirable and stable security in networks with national and organizational scope and even in sensitive information systems, should be based on a systematic and comprehensive method and should be done step by step. Cryptography is the most important mechanism for securing information. a cryptographic system consists of three main components: cryptographic algorithms, cryptogr...
متن کاملEvaluating Block-level Optimization Through the IO Path
This paper focuses on evaluation of the effectiveness of optimization at various layers of the IO path, such as the file system, the device driver scheduler, and the disk drive itself. IO performance is enhanced via effective block allocation at the file system, request merging and reordering at the device driver, and additional complex request reordering at the disk drive. Our measurements sho...
متن کاملThe Implementation of Hard-Disk Protection Method Based on Disk Filter Driver
In this paper, it analyzes the working mechanism for the hard disk protection based on the current disk filter driver. The core ideology of the mechanism is to redirect the I/O request packet to the disk operation and to restore data automatically after restart the system in the case of transparent operating system to its upper storey. Also, it specifically analyzes the safety trouble by new vi...
متن کاملThe Survey on Content Addressable Storage
1. Introduction Content addressable storage (CAS) is an emerging mechanism that can reduce the costs associated with this volume of data by eliminating such redundancy. Essentially, CAS uses cryptographic hashing techniques to identify data by its content rather than by name. Consequently, a CAS-based system will identify sets of identical objects and only store or transmit a single copy even i...
