Ensuring Privacy and Recovery: Public Key Encryption for Secure Data De-Duplication with Keyword Search

Abstract

In the current era of information explosion, user’s demand for data storage is increasing, and data on the cloud has become the first choice of users and enterprises. Clous storage facilitates the backup and sharing of data, efficiently reducing user’s storage expenses. The duplicate data of different users is stored multiple times, leading to a sudden decrease in the storage utilization of cloud servers. Data stored in plaintext form can directly remove duplicate data, while cloud servers are semi-trusted and usually need to achieve secure de-duplication and recover data in cipher text for different users, and relationship of trapdoor are equal in cipher text to achieve secure de-duplication. The proposed scheme is secure and efficient through security analysis and experimental simulation analysis.
