  • Publication number: 20030140066
    Abstract: A unique assigned code that corresponds to a prohibited file is compared to unique assigned identifiers that correspond to the individual files stored on a network or system to be scrutinized. The unique assigned identifiers do not disclose the contents of the files of the scrutinized network or systems and the examined files are not, therefore, placed on or viewable through the systems that executes the comparison. When there is a match between a unique assigned code and a unique assigned identifier, it is known that the prohibited file is resident on the examined network or system.
