Attributes Based Storage System for Secure De-Duplication of Encrypt Data in Cloud

摘要

These days, Cloud storage is gaining importance among individual and institutional users. Individual and foundations looks for cloud server as a capacity medium to diminish their capacity load under nearby devices. In such storage services, it is necessary to avoid duplicate content/repetitive storage of same data to be avoided. By reducing the duplicate content in cloud storage reduces storage cost. De-duplication is necessary when multiple data owner outsource the same data, issues related to security and ownership to be considered. As the cloud server is always considered to be non trusted, as it is maintained by third party, thus the data stored in cloud is always encrypted and uploaded, thus randomization property of encryption affects de-duplication. It is necessary to propose a server-side de-duplication scheme for handling encrypted data. The proposed scheme allows the cloud server to control access to outsourced data even when the ownership changes dynamically.
