  • It is hard to extract original data from encrypted data before getting the password in encrypted data with disk encryption software. This encryption key of disk encryption software can be extract by using physical memory analysis. Searching encryption key time in the physical memory increases with the size of memory because it is intended for whole memory. But physical memory data includes a lot of data that is unrelated to encryption keys like system kernel objects and file data. Therefore, it needs the method that extracts valid data for searching keys by analysis. We provide a method that collect only saved memory parts of disk encrypting keys in physical memory by analyzing Windows kernel virtual address space. We demonstrate superiority because the suggested method experimentally reduces more of the encryption key searching space than the existing method.

  • The understanding spectral characterization of possible earth-like extra solar planets has generated wide interested in astronomy and space science. The technical central issue in observation of exoplanet is deconvolution of the temporally and disk-averaged spectra of the exoplanets. The earth model based on atmospheric radiative transfer method has been studied in recent years for solutions of characterization of earthlike exoplanet. In this study, we report on the current progress of the new method of 3D earth model as a habitable exoplanet. The computational model has 3 components 1) the sun model, 2) an integrated earth BRDF (Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function) model (Atmosphere, Land and Ocean) and 3) instrument model combined in ray tracing computation. The ray characteristics such as radiative power and direction are altered as they experience reflection, refraction, transmission, absorption and scattering from encountering with each all of optical surfaces. The Land BRDF characteristics are defined by the semi-empirical "parametric-kernel-method" from POLDER missions from CNES. The ocean BRDF is defined for sea-ice cap structure and for the sea water optical model, considering sun-glint scattering. The input cloud-free atmosphere model consists of 1 layers with vertical profiles of absorption and aerosol scattering combined Rayleigh scattering and its input characteristics using the NEWS product in NASA data and spectral SMARTS from NREL and 6SV from Vermote E. The trial simulation runs result in phase dependent disk-averaged spectra and light-curves of a virtual exoplanet using 3D earth model.

  • Virtualization is a technology that uses a logical environment to overcome physical limitations in hardware. As a part of cost savings and green IT policies, there is a tendency in which recent businesses increase the adoption of such virtualization. In particular, regarding the virtualization in desktop, it is one of the most widely used technology at the present time. Because it is able to efficiently use various types of operating systems in a physical computer. A virtual machine image that is a key component of virtualization is difficult to investigate. because the structure of virtual machine image is different from hard disk image. Therefore, we need researches about appropriate investigation procedure and method based on technical understanding of a virtual machine. In this research, we suggest a procedure of investigation on a virtual machine image and a method for a corrupted image of the VMware Workstation that has the largest number of users.

  • To solve the large problems with limited core memory of computer, a disk management scheme called virtual memory database has been developed. Utilizing this technique along with memory moving scheme, an efficient in-and out-of-core column solver for the sparse symmetric matrix commonly arising in the finite element analysis is developed. Compared with other methods the algorithm is simple, therefore the coding and computational efficiencies are greatly enhanced. Analysis example shows that the proposed method efficiently solve the large structural problem on the small-memory micro-computer.

  • In this paper we design and implement a method for application programs to allow handling of large data files in DOS environment. In this method we use extended memory and hard disk as a data buffer. And we use a part of the conventional DOS memory as a buffer cache which allows the application program to use extended memory and hard disks transparently. Using buffer cache also allows us some speed improvement for the application program.

  • The free vibration of a spinning flexible disk-spindle system supported by hydro dynamic bearings (HDB) in an HDD is analyzed by FEM. The spinning flexible disk is described using Kirchhoff plate theory and von Karman non-linear strain, and its rigid body motion is also considered. It is discretized by annular sector element. The rotating spindle which includes the clamp, hub, permanent magnet and yoke, is modeled by Timoshenko beam including the gyroscopic effect. The flexible supporting structure with a complex shape which includes stator core, housing, base plate, sleeve and thrust pad is modeled by using a 4-node tetrahedron element with rotational degrees of freedom to satisfy the geometric compatibility. The dynamic coefficients of HDB are calculated from the HDB analysis program, which solves the perturbed Reynolds equation using FEM. Introducing the virtual nodes and the rigid link constraints defined in the center of HDB, beam elements of the shaft are connected to the solid elements of the sleeve and thrust pad through the spring and damper element. The global matrix equation obtained by assembling the finite element equations of each substructure is transformed to the state-space matrix-vector equation, and the associated eigen value problem is solved by using the restarted Arnoldi iteration method. The validity of this research is verified by comparing the numerical results of the natural frequencies with the experimental ones. Also the effect of supporting structures to the natural modes of the total HDD system is rigorously analyzed.

  • Log-Structured File System(LFS) is a disk based file system that is optimized for improving the write performance. LFS gathers dirty data in memory as long as possible, and flushes all dirty data sequentially at once. In a real system, however, maintaining dirty data in memory should be flushed into a disk to meet file system consistency issues even if more memory is still available. This synchronizations increase the cleaner overhead of LFS and make LFS to write down more metadata into a disk. In this paper, by adapting Non-volatile RAM(NV-RAM) we modifies LFS and virtual memory subsystem to guarantee that LFS could gather enough dirty data in the memory and reduce small disk writes. By doing so, we improves the performance of LFS by around 2.5 times than the original LFS.

  • As many companies are considering to use server virtualization technology to reduce cost, the crime rates in virtual server environment are expected to be increasing rapidly. The server virtualization solution has a basic function to produce virtual machine images without using any other disk imaging tools, so that investigating virtual servers are more efficient because the investigator only has to collect the virtual machine image and submit it to the court. However, the virtual machine image has no admissibility to be the legal evidence because of security, authenticity, procedural problems in collecting virtual machine images on virtual servers. In this research, we are going to provide requirements to satisfy security, authenticity and chain of custody conditions for the admissibility of the virtual machine image in server virtualization environment. Additionally, we suggest definite roles and driving plans for related organizations to produce virtual machine image as a admissible evidence.
