【Abstract】In this paper, we introduce a concept of transparent integrity auditing and propose a concrete scheme based on the blockchain, which goes one step beyond existing public auditing schemes, since the auditing does not rely on third-party auditors while freeing users from heavy communication costs on auditing the data integrity. Then we construct a secure transparent deduplication scheme based on the blockchain that supports deduplication over encrypted data and enables users to attest the deduplication pattern on the cloud server. Such a scheme allows users to directly benefit from data deduplication and protects data content against anyone who does not own the data. Finally, we integrate the proposed transparent integrity auditing scheme and transparent deduplication scheme into one system, dubbed BLIND. We evaluate BLIND from security and efficiency, which demonstrates that BLIND achieves a strong security guarantee with high efficiency.
