POSTER: Efficient Cross-User Chunk-Level Client-Side Data Deduplication with Symmetrically Encrypted Two-Party Interactions

Abstract

Data deduplication has been widely used in cloud storage to reduce the amount of storage space and save bandwidth. Unfortunately, as an increasing number of sensitive data are stored remotely, the encryption, the simplest way for data privacy, is not compatible with data deduplication. Here, we propose an encrypted deduplication scheme, XDedup, based on Merkle puzzle. To the best of our knowledge, XDedup is the first brute-force resilient encrypted deduplication with only symmetrically cryptographic two-party interactions. XDedup also achieves perfect deduplication.
