Data Deduplication Techniques in the Cloud
Day & Time: Monday, June 29, 2020
1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Speaker: Dr. Fatema Rashid

Abstract: Data security has become an integral part of today’s digital market. With the advent of cloud computing and influx of online services, privacy of the users has become a challenge for the service providers. With a tremendous increase in the number of privacy breeches all over the world, privacy preserving strategies for the data in the cloud have been studies in greater depths. To address security issues of the data in the cloud, privacy preserving techniques can be sub branched into Encryption, Differential Privacy and De-Identification. This talk covers the research done in all the three areas in order to preserve the privacy of the data from the cloud service provider or the third party mining the data. Encryption scheme can further be utilized to provide Data Deduplication strategy for the data in the cloud by keeping only one single copy of the identical data coming from different users. This will save digital space and at the same time provide data security to the users. The sharing of images and videos has made the multimedia data to become a huge portion of the data in the cloud. This talks covers de- duplication strategies applied to multimedia data in the cloud.
