Abstract
Storage providers can securely store data and avoid data duplication with secure derivative data and offload the responsibility of generating the secure derivative data to the data owners. Initially, a data source will provide an encrypted version of data and the secure derivative data to a remote storage provider. The secure derivative data can include a hash of the data, a hash of the encrypted version of the data, a hash tree generated from the data, and an encrypted version of the key used to encrypt the data. When the remote storage provider later receives a request to store the same data, the remote storage provider uses the secure derivative data for secure proofs of storage and for proof of data possession.
