Abstract
A method for storing data on a storage entity (SE) includes the steps of: (a) dividing a file to be stored into a plurality of chunks by a client; (b) computing a secret key for each of the chunks of the file; (c) computing for each of the chunks a chunk identifier by the client; (d) checking, by the SE, whether one or more of the chunks have already been stored based on the computed chunk identifiers; and (e) it a case where it is determined that one or more of the chunks have not already been stored, performing the following: encoding the corresponding chunks; computing chunk tags for the chunks using the computed secret key; and storing the encoded chunks and the chunk tags.
