Todays modern society is extremely dependent on computer based information systems. Many of the organizations would simply not be able to function properly without services provided by these systems, just like financing organizations. Although interruption might decrease the efficiency of an organization, theft or unintentional disclosure of entrusted private data could have more serious consequences, such as legal actions as well as loss of business due to lack of trust from potential users. This dependence on information systems has lead to a need for securing these systems and this in turn has created a need for knowing how secure they are. The introduction of the information society has changed how people interact with government agencies. Government agencies are now encouraged to uphold a 24-hour electronic service to the citizens. The introduction of government services on the Internet is meant to facilitate communication with agencies, decrease service times and to lessen the amount of papers that needs to be processed. The increased connectivity to the Internet results in a rising demand for information security in these systems. In this article, we have discussed about many file data breaches in the past and current history and they are going to increase day by day as the reports by DataLossDB (Open Security Foundation) organization, a non-profit organization in US.

Nowadays, storage systems are increasingly subject to attacks. So the security system is quickly becoming mendatory feature of the data storage systems. For the security purpose we are always dependent on the cryptography techniques. These techniques take the performance costs for the complete system. So we have proposed the Java File Security System(JFSS). It is based on the on-demand computing system concept, because of the performance issues. It is a greate comback for the system performance. The concept is used because, we are not always in need the secure the files, but the selected one only. In this paper, we have designed a file security system on Windows XP. When we use the operating system, we have to secure some important data. The date is always stored in the files, so we secure the important files well. To check the proposed functionality, we experiment the above said system on the Windows operating system. With these experiments, we have found that the proposed system is working properly, according to the needs of the users.
