Comprehensive Research Proposal on File System Evolution, NIT6130

This project presents a research proposal on the evolution of file systems, addressing knowledge gaps in understanding the impact of technological changes. The research employs quantitative data analysis, focusing on encryption methods like Full Disk Encryption and File Level Encryption. It builds upon existing research, particularly the DiFUSE file system, to enhance data security and plausible deniability. The proposal outlines the problem statement, research aims, expected outcomes, and proposed methods, including architectural diagrams and typical scenarios. Ethical considerations are integrated, covering risk minimization, informed consent, anonymity, and the right to withdraw. The project aims to contribute to the understanding of file system evolution and improve data management practices.
