A system and method efficiently deletes a file from secure storage, i.e., a cryptainer, served by a storage system. The cryptainer is configured to store a plurality of files, each of which stores an associated file key within a special metadata portion of the file. Notably, special metadata is created by a security appliance coupled to the storage system and attached to each file to thereby create two portions of the file: the special metadata portion and the main, “file data” portion. The security appliance then stores the file key within the specially-created metadata portion of the file. A cryptainer key is associated with the cryptainer. Each file key is used to encrypt the file data portion within its associated file and the cryptainer key is used to encrypt the part of the special metadata portion of each file. To delete the file from the cryptainer, the file key of the file is deleted and the special metadata portions of all other files stored in the cryptainer are re-keyed using a new cryptainer key. Thereafter, the “old” cryptainer key is deleted.

An MFP can transmit image data read by a scanner by attaching it to E-mail. At the time of transmission, the image data input by the scanner and stored in a work memory is converted into mail data so as to be transmitted by E-mail, and the mail data is stored again into the work memory. The mail data is divided every predetermined reference data size into divided files which are sequentially transmitted as divided mails. When completion of transmission of divided mails corresponding to a unit image is confirmed, the image data and mail data of the unit image are eliminated from the work memory. By sequentially performing such a process, the memory use efficiency can be improved while holding image data of a unit image which has not been transmitted yet.

A mail filter device allowing processing time to be reduce is provided. The SMTP processor relays commands and responses exchanged between SMTP client and SMTP server and performs content check during message relaying. TCP / IP terminations share header information through a connection manager, keeping TCP / IP header information identical both between the SMTP client and the mail filter device and between the mail filter device and the SMTP server. When the content check determines that the electronic mail is relayed without discarding its message, the SMTP processor transfers a response to the SMTP client when the SMTP server has completed relay processing.

In a data storage apparatus for storing data by making the data to be a file, a file is deleted, in a normal deletion processing, after contents of the file are destructed by overwriting the file to be deleted with data for elimination such as “all-zeros”. On the other hand, with respect to storage processing, when storing new data, files waiting for deletion are investigated whether they are existent or not, excluding files being deleted currently in the normal deletion processing, and when files waiting for deletion are existent, either one of the files waiting for deletion is overwritten with new data to be stored.

Creation of integrated color conversion data for color processing requires a large computation volume and much time in case of a device and GMA used for the first time. Hence, first color conversion data is stored in a memory, second color conversion data different from the first color conversion data is retrieved, and integrated color conversion data is generated from the first color conversion data and the second color conversion data. The generated integrated color conversion data is stored in the memory, so that the integrated color conversion data is read out from the memory and is used upon application of color processing according to the first color conversion data and the second color conversion data to color data.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that solves a global optimization problem specified by a function ƒ and a set of equality constraints qi(x)=0 (i=1, . . . , r), wherein ƒ is a scalar function of a vector x=(x1, x2, x3, . . . xn). During operation, the system receives a representation of the function ƒ and the set of equality constraints and stores the representation in a memory. Next, the system performs an interval equality constrained global optimization process to compute guaranteed bounds on a globally minimum value of the function ƒ(x) subject to the set of equality constraints. During this process, the system applies term consistency to a set of relations associated with the interval equality constrained global optimization problem over a subbox X, and excludes any portion of the subbox X that violates the set of relations. It also applies box consistency to the set of relations, and excludes any portion of the subbox X that violates the set of relations. Finally, the system performs an interval Newton step for the interval equality constrained global optimization problem over the subbox X. The system integrates the sub-parts of the process with branch tests designed to increase the overall speed of the process.
