When a data file is shared through various methods on the Internet, the data file may be damaged in various cases. To prevent this, some websites provide the checksum value of the download target file in text data type. The checksum value provided in this way is then compared with the checksum value of the downloaded file and the published checksum value. If they are the same, the file is regarded as the same. However, the checksum value provided in text form is easily tampered with by an attacker. Because of this, if the correct checksum cannot be verified, the reliability and integrity of the data file cannot be ensured. In this paper, a checksum value is generated to ensure the integrity and reliability of a data file, and this value and related file information are stored in the blockchain. After that, we will introduce the research contents for designing and implementing a system that provides a function to share the checksum value stored in the block chain and compare it with other people's files.

File integrity checking is the most reliable method to examine integrity and stability of system resources. It is required to examine the whole data whenever auditing system's integrity, and its process and result depends on administrator's experience and ability. Therefore the existing method is not appropriate to intrusion response and recovery systems, which require a fast response time. Moreover file integrity checking is able to collect information about the damaged resources, without information about the person who generated the action, which would be very useful for intrusion isolation. In this paper, we propose rtIntegrit, which combines system call auditing functions, it is called Syswatcher, with file integrity checking. The rtlntegrit can detect many activities on files or file system in real-time by combining with Syswatcher. The Syswatcher audit file I/O relative system call that is specified on configuration. And it can be easily cooperated with intrusion response and recovery systems since it generates assessment data in the standard IDMEF format.

The digital forensic analysis ensures the integrity of confiscated data by calculating hash values for seizure and search of digital evidence and receiving confirmation and signature from participants. However, evidence that is irrelevant to the alleged offense needs to be deleted even after seizure from the point of view of privacy. But the hash value is altered by deleting the irrelevant data from the image file, one will not be able to prove that the file is in the initial state when it was seized. Therefore, in this paper, a study was conducted to support the integrity of the digital evidence, even if some of the seized digital evidence was deleted or damaged during the seizure search. The hash value of each data is calculated and hash value of the combination of hash values are also calculated. Even if the unrelated evidence is deleted from the seized evidence regardless of file system such as FAT or NTFS, the suggested method presented a way to provide the integrity that proves there is no change in the evidence file.

Today, as the number of audio files submitted as legal evidence increases with the proliferation of smartphones, the integrity of audio files has become an important issue. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to explore whether the metadata and file structure of audio files recorded on Samsung smartphones can be manipulated to be identical to the original. This study was based on Samsung smartphones, the most widely used in Korea, and conducted experiments on the built-in voice recording app and the 'Easy Voice Recorder' app, which is the most popular recording app. Through the experiments of this study, it was proven that the metadata and file structure of audio files can be manipulated. Therefore, this study reveals that metadata and file structure analysis have limitations in proving the integrity when audio files are analyzed for adoption as legal evidence. They also argue for the need to develop new voice file forgery technology that does not rely on metadata and file structure analysis.

The verification of data integrity is an urgent topic in remote data storage environments with the wide deployment of cloud data storage services. Many traditional verification algorithms focus on the block-oriented verification to resolve the dispute of dynamic data integrity between the data owners and the storage service providers. However, these algorithms scarcely pay attention to the data verification charge and the users' verification experience. The users more concern about the availability of accessed files rather than data blocks. Moreover, the data verification charge limits the number of checked data in each verification. Therefore, we propose a mixed verification protocol to verify the data integrity, which rapidly locates the corrupted files by the file-oriented verification, and then identifies the corrupted blocks in these files by the block-oriented verification. Theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that the protocol reduces the cost of the metadata computation and transmission relative to the traditional block-oriented verification at the expense of little cost of additional file-oriented metadata computation and storage at the data owner. Both the opportunity of data extracted and the scope of suspicious data are optimized to improve the verification efficiency under the same verification cost.

As digital evidence has a highly influential role in proving the innocence of suspects, methods for integrity verification of such digital evidence have become essential in the digital forensic field. Most surveillance camera systems are not equipped with proper built-in integrity protection functions. Because digital forgery techniques are becoming increasingly sophisticated, manually determining whether digital content has been falsified is becoming extremely difficult for investigators. Hence, systematic approaches to forensic integrity verification are essential for ascertaining truth or falsehood. We propose an integrity determination method that utilizes the structure of the video content in a Video Event Data Recorder (VEDR). The proposed method identifies the difference in frame index fields between a forged file and an original file. Experiments conducted using real VEDRs in the market and video files forged by a video editing tool demonstrate that the proposed integrity verification scheme can detect broken integrity in video content.

In this paper, we propose a method for protecting Android applications against reverse engineering attacks. In this method, the server encrypts the original executable code (DEX) included in an APK file, inserts into the APK file a stub code that decrypts the encrypted DEX later at run-time, and distributes the modified APK file. The stub code includes an integrity validation code to detect attacks on itself. When a user installs and executes the APK file, the stub code verifies the integrity of itself, decrypts the encrypted DEX, and loads it dynamically to execute. Since the original DEX is distributed as an encrypted one, we can effectively protect the intellectual property. Further, by verifying the integrity of the stub code, we can prevent malicious users from bypassing our method. We applied the method to 15 Android apps, and evaluated its effectiveness. We confirmed that 13 out of them operates normally.

It is defined in the internal standard of the NAK namely a NAK/G8-1:2013(v.1.) such as TIFF, PNG, PDF/A, JPEG 2000 as a Long-Term Preservation Master File for internal Standardization of Paper Archives in the Central Archives of Korea. This study reviewed the possibility that JPEG format could be a standard as a Long-Term Preservation Master File for internal Standardization of Paper Archives in the Central Archives of Korea. I pointed to the unique characteristics of JPEG file format and analysed and compared with TIFF format that is a representative master file. Through this study, I suggested that JPEG format also should be additionally included in the standard, as a master file, because it meets a qualification and functional requirements of master file and can guarantee the authenticity, reliability, integrity and usability. The meaning of this study is that JPEG format, be added to master file standard, can set up a environment that has lots of benefit in the domain of usability, compatibility to user as well as the authenticity, reliability, integrity.

Cloud computing today provides huge computational resources, storage capacity, and many kinds of data services. Data sharing in the cloud is the practice of exchanging files between various users via cloud technology. The main difficulty with file sharing in the public cloud is maintaining privacy and integrity through data encryption. To address this issue, this paper proposes an Enhanced RSA encryption schema (ERSA) for data sharing in the public cloud that protects privacy and strengthens data integrity. The data owners store their files in the cloud after encrypting the data using the ERSA which combines the RSA algorithm, XOR operation, and SHA-512. This approach can preserve the confidentiality and integrity of a file in any cloud system while data owners are authorized with their unique identities for data access. Furthermore, analysis and experimental results are presented to verify the efficiency and security of the proposed schema.

The various video recording device, like car black box and cctv, are used currently and video contents are used as evidence of traffic accidents and scenes of crime. To verify integrity of video content, there are various study on manipulated video content analysis. Among these studies, a study based on analysis of video file structure and its variables needs a tool which can be used to analyze file structure and extract interested attributes. In this paper, we proposed design and implementation of an analyzing tool which visualizes video file structure and its attributes. The proposed tool use a model which reflects commonality of various video container format, so it is available to analyze video structure with regardless of the video file types. And the tool specifies interested file structure properties in XML and therefore we can change target properties easily without modification of the tool.
