Abstract:
A system and method for determining an age of an object is provided. A first index for a timestamp entry in a sequence of timestamps corresponding to a time at which an object was created is identified. At least one subsequence of timestamps from the sequence of timestamps having indexes for entries in the sequence of timestamps that are between the first index in the sequence of timestamps and a last index for a last timestamp entry in the sequence of timestamps is identified, wherein the at least one subsequence of timestamps conforms to a function of a time interval between storage of consecutive current timestamps reported by clock of the computer system. Timestamps from the sequence of timestamps that are not included in the at least one subsequence of timestamps are removed. An age of the object is determined based on the at least one subsequence of timestamps.
