Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for reconstructing two or more files from a set of fragments of the files, the method comprising: a) accepting, by a system including at least one processor, adjacency scores for each pair of fragments from the set of fragments; b) identifying, by the system, header fragments from among the fragments of the set of fragments; c) for each header fragment of the header fragments identified in act (b), reconstructing or provisionally reconstructing, by the system, a corresponding one of the two or more files from the fragments of the set of fragments such that sum of adjacency scores of fragment pairs of a file is optimized, wherein at least two files are reconstructed such that fragments contained in the at least two reconstructed files are independent of order in which the files were reconstructed, and wherein the act of reconstructing a corresponding one of the two or more files includes
