Abstract
A computer-implemented method for securely managing file-attribute information for files in a file system may comprise: 1) identifying at least one file, 2) identifying file-attribute information that identifies at least one file attribute for the file, 3) identifying volatile metadata associated with the file that contains file-attribute information, 4) determining that the file has been modified, and 5) automatically deleting the volatile metadata. Corresponding systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
