DRAM is an important memory of a computer. Microprocessor loads the data
requested by the user into DRAM before processing the data. Hence, DRAM contains
important information in a computer. Recently, researchers discovered that DRAM is
vulnerable to attack that is called Cold boot attack. DRAM contents can be recovered even
after the computer has been powered off for several minutes. The information obtained can
be often use to break the disk encryption system such as File vault. In this paper, we
proposed the methodology which explains the complete process and describe the safeguard
methods. We design a system keeping few things in our mind the accessibility for the user
and Security. This System is defines as a software solution to the cold boot problem. We also used additional feature to prevent DRAM from the machine replacement. The System is designed as the procedure to secure the encryption key and prevent the machine from attack.
