“…In this case, confirming deduplication happened already at the CSP to get an offer of low storage charge becomes essential, our paper aims to solve this issue. For motivating the adoption of our scheme, in another line of our work, we study how to make all related stakeholders to accept and use deduplication schemes by applying game theory to design proper incentive or punishment mechanisms in three cases: client-controlled deduplication [35], [36], server-controlled deduplication [12] and hybrid deduplication [13]. Since our scheme design is built upon the one in [14], belonging to server-controlled deduplication, the incentive mechanism [12] suitable for the server-controlled deduplication schemes can be applied to motivate scheme adoption.…”

“…Another security issue ignored by the previous literature is the correctness guarantee of data duplication check provided by the CSP. Several schemes [12], [13] motivate the CSP to perform deduplication, but ignore that the CSP could cheat the users by providing a fake duplication check result. The reason is simple since the CSP can gain an extra profit by asking the users to pay normal storage fee without granting a deserved discount while performing deduplication to save storage space.…”

Data deduplication is a technique to eliminate duplicate data in order to save storage space and enlarge upload bandwidth, which has been applied by cloud storage systems. However, a cloud storage provider (CSP) may tamper user data or cheat users to pay unused storage for duplicate data that are only stored once. Although previous solutions adopt message-locked encryption along with Proof of Retrievability (PoR) to check the integrity of deduplicated encrypted data, they ignore proving the correctness of duplication check during data upload and require the same file to be derived into same verification tags, which suffers from brute-force attacks and restricts users from flexibly creating their own individual verification tags. In this paper, we propose a verifiable deduplication scheme called VeriDedup to address the above problems. It can guarantee the correctness of duplication check and support flexible tag generation for integrity check over encrypted data deduplication in an integrative way. Concretely, we propose a novel Tag-flexible Deduplication-supported Integrity Check Protocol (TDICP) based on Private Information Retrieval (PIR) by introducing a novel verification tag called note set, which allows multiple users holding the same file to generate their individual verification tags and still supports tag deduplication at the CSP. Furthermore, we make the first attempt to guarantee the correctness of data duplication check by introducing a novel User Determined Duplication Check Protocol (UDDCP) based on Private Set Intersection (PSI), which can resist a CSP from providing a fake duplication check result to users. Security analysis shows the correctness and soundness of our scheme. Simulation studies based on real data show the efficacy and efficiency of our proposed scheme and its significant advantages over prior arts.

“…While the presence of redundancy on a local storage can have some benefits, it is not true in the context of cloud computing, where the entire cloud architecture uses different means for a thorough redundancy. Liang et al [10] studied the case of data deduplication in the cloud systems for encrypted data. Their research study investigated the adoption of hybrid encrypted cloud data deduplication (H-DEDU) by means of using the game theory paradigm.…”

“…Accordingly, he found that game theory allows a higher level of sophistication and efficiency in cryptography as it resolves the issues and security flaws present in conventional cryptographic techniques. Recently, several researchers have shown interest in developing security models and protocols that combine the approaches of cryptography and game theory, as found in [10][11][12][13][14]. These approaches show promising results in terms of performance and security.…”

Securing communication over public communication channels is one of the challenging issues in the field of cryptography and information security. A stream cipher is presented as an approach for securing exchanged data between different parties through encryption. The core of stream cipher relies on its keystream generator, that is responsible for generating random and secure keystream of encrypting streaming data. Thus, the security of the keystream is measured by its randomness and its resistance to statistical and cryptanalytic attacks. As there is always a trade-off between the security and performance while designing new cryptographic primitives, we introduce a game theory-based stream cipher that performs fast and utilises the unpredictable behaviour of prisoners' dilemma players to generate random sequences that serve as keystreams. To assure further security, the ciphertext is coded by DNA bases that are randomly scrambled at the beginning of every iteration of generating new keystream. The proposed stream cipher's performance and security are thoroughly examined in terms of randomness, performance, and resistance to cryptanalytic attacks. The experiments show that our stream cipher can encrypt around 1230 Mbit/s. Statistically, our proposed stream cipher passed the NIST statistical tests successfully.

“…The findings revealed that game theory increases the cryptography's efficiency and sophistication by solving some challenges inherent in typical cryptographic methods. Today, there is increasing interest among researchers in innovating security protocols and models that bridge the gap, integrating the practises practically applied in the game theory as well as in cryptography [10][11][12][13][14][15]. These techniques reveal promising outcomes when analysed based on security and performance.…”

Data encryption is essential in securing exchanged data between connected parties. Encryption is the process of transforming readable text into scrambled, unreadable text using secure keys. Stream ciphers are one type of an encryption algorithm that relies on only one key for decryption and as well as encryption. Many existing encryption algorithms are developed based on either a mathematical foundation or on other biological, social or physical behaviours. One technique is to utilise the behavioural aspects of game theory in a stream cipher. In this paper, we introduce an enhanced Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-coded stream cipher based on an iterated n-player prisoner's dilemma paradigm. Our main goal is to contribute to adding more layers of randomness to the behaviour of the keystream generation process; these layers are inspired by the behaviour of multiple players playing a prisoner's dilemma game. We implement parallelism to compensate for the additional processing time that may result from adding these extra layers of randomness. The results show that our enhanced design passes the statistical tests and achieves an encryption throughput of about 1,877 Mbit/s, which makes it a feasible secure stream cipher.
