Merkle Based Cryptographic Tree for Preventing Hash Collisions in Data Deduplication Mechanism on Servers

Abstract

Due to the explosive rise in Digital Data content, the rise in the demand of new storage and network equipment is getting common with an increasing need for more cost-effective use of storage and network bandwidth for data transfer. Cloud services are also growing at an explosive rate as it provides cost efficient architectures. Such cloud architectures provide transmission and storage in multi user environment and works usually on pay per use model we only have a need to pay for what we use. For saving resources on cloud environment many cloud service provider use Data Duplication eradication mechanism. Here, Our approach is focusing on the Merkle Tree approach for eradication of Data Duplication.
