What is Galton?
Galton is a Mac OS X application for computing and storing fileprints. Fileprints are the equivalent of human fingerprints for files: they identify an individual file through an imprint taken from the file rather than through its name or location on a storage medium. Galton can be used to scan and store a file’s fileprint and verify whether a specific file matches a fileprint. Galton also supports exporting fileprints in formats compatible with other applications, including some peer-to-peer applications that can download files matching a fileprint.
