How is file deletion normally accomplished? What security problems might result from this method?
A file is normally deleted by marking its storage allocation units as free and its directory entry as unused. The data isn't actually overwritten until the physical storage locations are allocated to another file and write operations to these locationsare performed.
Security can be a problem for two reasons: Files can be undeleted by reconstructing directory and storage allocation table contents, and file content can be visible to intruders able to bypass the storage allocation table and read allocation units directly.
