In recent years, the amount of data stored at the cloud storage is increasing rapidly due to the prevalence of data outsourcing. In order to be cost-effective and to reduce the bandwidth consumption, cloud stores use cross-user client-side data deduplication which eliminates the need to store redundant copies by keeping only a single copy of the data at the cloud storage. Cloud storage providers generally adopt data deduplication, a technique for eliminating redundant data by keeping only a single copy of a file, thus saving a considerable amount of storage and bandwidth. Even then, the attackers use many deduplication protocols to steal information. For example, an attacker can perform the duplicate check to verify whether a file (e.g., a pay slip, with a specific name and salary amount) is already stored (by someone else), hence breaching the user privacy.
