A Secured and Authenticated Mechanism for Data Deduplication using Hybrid Clouds

Vidya M. Mane | Prof. M. K. Nighot

Abstract: Data de-duplication is a technique for reducing the amount of storage space an organization needs to save its data. In most organizations, the storage systems contain duplicate copies of many pieces of data. For example, the same file may be saved in several different places by different users, or two or more files that aren't identical may still include much of the same data. De-duplication eliminates these extra copies by saving just one copy of the data and replacing the other copies with pointers that lead back to the original copy. Companies frequently use de-duplication in backup and disaster recovery applications, but it can be used to free up space in primary storage as well. To avoid this duplication of data and to maintain the confidentiality in the cloud we using the concept of Hybrid cloud. To protect the confidentiality of sensitive data while supporting deduplication, the convergent encryption technique has been proposed to encrypt the data before outsourcing. To better protect data security, this paper makes the first attempt to formally address the problem of authorized data deduplication.
