Abstract

Cloud providers tend to save storage via cross-user deduplication, while users who care about privacy tend to encrypt their files on client-side. Secure deduplication of encrypted data (SDoE) which aims to reconcile this apparent contradiction is an active research topic. In this paper, we propose a formal security model for SDoE. We also propose two single-server SDoE protocols and prove their security in our model. We evaluate their deduplication effectiveness via simulations with realistic datasets.

Notes

  1. 1.

    We also assume that the implicit authentication property is preserved in the PAKE protocol as in the ideal functionality \(\mathcal {F}_{same-input-pake}\) in [13]. The extention of the constrained-PAKE with implicit authentication is straight forward.

  2. 2.

    The rational of this abort rule can be found in Game 3.

  3. 3.

    We assume a polynomial sized file space.

  4. 4.

    This mapping ensures that all hash queries are answerable.

  5. 5.

    Recall that in the security game for compromised server, we assume that every file has been uploaded into \(\mathbf {DB}_0\), so are \(F_0\) and \(F_1\).
