Operating System

The document compares four file systems: NTFS, FAT32, EXT3, and HFS+. It outlines which operating systems each file system supports, maximum volume and file name sizes, character encoding, and key features such as encryption, compression, permissions, and performance characteristics. NTFS supports the most security and management features while FAT32 supports the fewest. The optimal file system depends on the operating system and intended usage.

Part3 Report
The development of encryption file system has been development using the XoR encryption algorisms With the Bloodshed Dev-C++ compiler with has the entire library needed for the development of the Program if using visual C++ 2008,2010 additional library must be include to be able to compile the source code, this program has been developed to use on windows platform; the XoR algorisms use a trivial symmetric cipher. The XoR operator output a 1 when the value for the 1st and the 2nd bit is 1 and the operator returns a 0 when both of the bits is 1 or both are zero. With that method with the combination of a key plain text message can be converted to cipher text.

Comparison Table summary


The file system use for the comparison table are the NTFS, FAT32, EXT3 and HFS+ all of those four system file has different capability and each of them support different operating system, The NTFS and FAT32 support mostly the Microsoft platform which is windows, the EXT3 is mostly use by Linux platform and the last one which is the HFS+ is mostly use on the Mac OS of Apple, all of the for support Unicode character, but not all of them support encryption and compression NTFS support well the encryption features but not Fat32,were as It provide encryption at block device level and it no available on the HFS+. Data recovery is well supported with the NTFS and the HFS+ but not with the FAT32 and the EXT3 depends on what kind of recovery from crash, recovery or data deletion and forensic recovery. In fact the file system you chose will depend on what operating system and usage will be used.
