Summary
Data Deduplication is the foremost technique used for data compression by removing redundant data. It is broadly utilized for cloud storage server, which reduces the un‐utilized memory space and optimized bandwidth. The confidentiality of sensitive information maintains during Deduplication detection. The Efficient Hash Function–based Duplication Detection (EHFDD) algorithm is proposed to encrypt the content before outsourcing in cloud environment. This paper is an attempt to enhance the data security and notify the issues of approved data Deduplication detections. Furthermore, it also presents several novel Deduplication improvisations for helping certified duplicate verification in hybrid cloud. The EHFDD method enables duplicate detection scheme with minimal overhead compared to existing functions. Based on experimental evaluations, proposed EHFDD algorithm reduces the average delay in 28.7 milliseconds, memory utilization in 8%, computation time in 457 milliseconds, communications overhead in 900 milliseconds, and improves the success rate in 3.13%.
