Abstract

The cloud environment is inherently dynamic as users are added immensely in a short duration. It is indeed difficult to manage such user profiles and associated data. Meanwhile, the cloud data expand at a twofold‐to‐threefold rate on average, making storage space management and data integrity maintenance a mandatory task but also risky. The main approaches for addressing these data maintenance challenges in a cloud context are deduplication and data protection. In order to manage storage space, finding and removing identical copies of the same data from the cloud are possible, resulting in a reduction in the amount of storage space needed. Furthermore, duplicate copies are considerably reduced in cloud storage owing to data deduplication. Here, a decentralized ledger public blockchain network is introduced to protect the Integrity of data stored in cloud storage. This research proposes data deduplication using speedy content‐defined Chunking (SpeedyCDC) algorithm in the public blockchain. Many people and businesses outsource sensitive data to remote cloud servers because it considerably eliminates the hassle of managing software and infrastructure. However, the ownership and control rights of users data are nonetheless divided because it is outsourced to cloud storage providers (CSPs) and kept on a distant cloud. As a result, users have a great deal of difficulty in verifying the Integrity of sensitive data. Analysis using datasets from Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) revealed that the throughput increased by 5%–6% over that of the fastCDC technique, which offered Integrity since a blockchain network secured it.
