  • Publication number: 20230336359
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and processes are described for re-imaging image data on a client device. A process may include establishing, by a client device, a communications link with a server; communicating an image data request to the server; wherein the image data request identifies a first Image Data Segment (1IDS) in an Image Data Volume (IDV); receiving a 1IDS packet from the server; decompressing the 1IDS packet; identifying a first header and a 1IDS in the 1IDS packet; decrypting the first header and the 1IDS; identifying a first signature in the decrypted first header; first calculating a third signature for the decrypted 1IDS; comparing the first signature to the third signature; and accepting, when the first signature matches the third signature, the 1IDS for non-transient storage on a computer readable medium for the client device. The process may include second calculating a total signature for the 1IDS packet.
