Cloud computing provides a scalable platform for large amount of data and processes that work on various applications and services by means of on-demand service. The storage services offered by clouds have become a new profit growth by providing a comparable cheaper, scalable, location-independent platform for managing users' data. The client uses the cloud storage and enjoys the high end applications and services from a shared group of configurable computing resources using cloud services. It

... educes the difficulty of local data storage and maintenance. But it gives severe security issues toward users' outsourced data. Data Redundancy promotes the data reliability in Cloud Storage. At the same time, it increases storage space, Bandwidth and Security threats due to some server vulnerability. Data Deduplication helps to improve storage utilization. Backup is also less which means less Hardware and Backup media. But it has lots of security issues. Data reliability is a very risky issue in a Deduplication storage system because there is single copy for each file stored in the server which is shared by all the data owners. If such a shared file/chunk was missing, large amount of data becomes unreachable. The main aim of this work is to implement Deduplication System without sacrificing Security in cloud storage. It combines both Deduplication and convergent key cryptography with reduced overhead.
