File Extension DATA

File type: CoreFSIF Database File

About the DATA file type:

If Windows cannot find the appropriate program associated with .DATA files, then your registry may have errors. Check your Windows registry for errors (includes file association errors).

The database application CoreFSIF developed by Avanticore, Inc. is associated with the usage of the proprietary DATA file extension. This format file supports the execution of the structured storage system that can be deployed on multiple Operating System platforms. The application relies on the compound file binary archive produced in conjunction with the AES encryption support, random access, defragmentation, C programming language (including its variations) interface, and password protection features. The implementation of this software allows for the use of transparently encrypted data in on-disk storage devices that primarily target embedded platforms like the Microsoft Windows CE and similar environments as well. The application's library can also be deployed under a Linux Operating System platform and is considered as a direct competitor of the Advanced Authoring Format as well as the Microsoft's Compound File Binary Format. The most basic execution of the CoreFSIF is its implementation of containers which optionally encrypt data streams with virtually no restrictions on the type of data that can be stored into the streams.

The application supported by the DATA file extension emulates the file management layer of archetypal Operating Systems which expose I/O including stream functions in relation to the runtime libraries and other similar functionalities. In this context, the application makes sure that there is a smooth integration between the application and the file management API of the Operating System. The internal structure of FSIF loosely looks like that of the FAT file system based on its file structure and directory represented by parallel streams. This structure is commonly referred to as IIO (Interface I/O) Layer. The encoding method used by the system in order to elicit optimum database performance is called the Patricia Tries. The handling of the streams associated with the DATA file extension is done by reference counting; thereby causing the CoreFSIF to provide support for virtual hard links. The encryption and decryption of data can be done transparently during runtime either via AES or any faster stream cipher. Aside from targeting embedded applications, database-driven Web-based programs as well as specialized software like console games can derive immense benefits from the implementation of the DATA file extension supported CoreFSIF software.
