Application: System and method for creating a digital fingerprint library (Patent ID: US20240111887A1)

The invention by Acronis International GmbH pertains to a system and method for creating a digital fingerprint library to store information of documents containing protected data. The system includes a fragment generator, a fingerprint value generator, and the digital fingerprint library. Fragments of the document are generated using a sliding window method, with the length of the fragment being determined heuristically. A fingerprint value, such as a hash, is assigned to each fragment, which is then stored in the digital fingerprint library. These fingerprint values serve as key values for comparing fragments of unknown files to the library, enabling efficient identification of protected information.

The method and system involve receiving a file with protected information, generating fixed-length fragments of the file, assigning fingerprint values to each fragment, and storing these values in the digital fingerprint library. The process includes pre-processing the file, determining fragment length heuristically, and configuring the sliding window length using a GUI. Additionally, the system allows for the removal of fragments existing in public domain files from the library, storing hierarchical classification of files, and storing statistical information about each fragment. Overall, the invention provides a comprehensive solution for creating and managing a digital fingerprint library to securely store and compare protected data fragments efficiently.
