An efficient confidentiality-preserving Proof of Ownership for deduplication

Data storage in the cloud is becoming widespread. Deduplication is a key mechanism to decrease the operating costs cloud providers face, due to the reduction of replicated data storage. Nonetheless, deduplication must deal with several security threats such as honest-but-curious servers or malicious users who may try to take ownership of files they are not entitled to. Unfortunately, state-of-the-art solutions present weaknesses such as not coping with honest-but-curious servers, deployment problems, or lacking a sound security analysis. In this paper we present a novel Proof of Ownership scheme that uses convergent encryption and requires neither trusted third parties nor complex key management. The experimental evaluation highlights the efficiency and feasibility of our proposal that is proven to be secure under the random oracle model in the bounded leakage setting. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Survey on Secure Authorized De-duplication in Hybrid

Nowadays, cloud computing provides high amount of storage space and massive parallel computing at effective cost. As cloud computing becomes prevalent, excessive amount of data being stored in the cloud. However, exponential growth of ever-increasing volume of data has raised many new challenges. De-duplication technique is specialized data compression technique which eliminates redundant data as well as improves storage and bandwidth utilization. Convergent encryption technique is proposed to enforce confidentiality during de-duplication, which encrypt data before outsourcing. To better protect data security, we present different privileges of user to address problem of authorized data de-duplication. We also present several new de-duplication constructions supporting authorized duplicate check in hybrid cloud architecture, which incurs minimal overhead compared to normal operation

Secure data storage and retrieval in cloud computing

Nowadays cloud computing has been widely recognised as one of the most inuential information technologies because of its unprecedented advantages. In spite of its widely recognised social and economic benefits, in cloud computing customers lose the direct control of their data and completely rely on the cloud to manage their data and computation, which raises significant security and privacy concerns and is one of the major barriers to the adoption of public cloud by many organisations and individuals. Therefore, it is desirable to apply practical security approaches to address the security risks for the wide adoption of cloud computing

Review Paper on Privacy Preservation Techniques in Cloud

In this information world, large amounts of data are collected and analyzed every day. Cloud computing is the most known model for supporting large and complex data. Organizations are moving toward cloud computing for getting benefit of its cost reduction and elasticity features but cloud computing has potential risk and vulnerabilities. One of major problem in moving to cloud computing is its security and privacy concerns.Encryption is standalone problem for the security of data stored on the cloud. So we proposed method which combines the concept of encryption along with data deduplication methodology to enhance the privacy of data over cloud. Data deduplication is a specialized data compression technique for eliminating duplicate copies of repeating data in storage. In turns this technique saves the cost and time associated with redundant accessing and processing of data overhead involve as compared to normal operations.

A Review on Deduplication-Cost Efficient Method to Store Data Over Cloud Using Convergent Encryption

This paper represents that, many techniques are using for the elimination of duplicate copies of repeating data, out of those techniques, the most important data compression technique is data deduplication. Convergent technique has been used to encrypt data before outsourcing for privacy and security point of view. In the proposed system, we apply the technique of cryptographic tuning to make the encryption more secure and flexible. In previous systems, there was a limitation of convergent encryption. Data deduplication does not allow the storage of repetitive blocks. It also puts the pointer to the existing blocks so that the data owner have the freedom of selecting users, to have access to the published file. Access control is provided into the application. The integrity of data outsourced to the cloud is managed by the hash calculation of any content following the proof-of-ownership module. Proposed system calculates the hash value of the data content on both sides i.e.; destination as well as source side. Request hash for the cloud side to predict the tampering of data. The expected analysis shows the improvement in execution time and development cost
