This document summarizes a research paper on a secure access policies based data deduplication system. The system uses attribute-based encryption and a hybrid cloud model with a private cloud for deduplication and a public cloud for storage. It allows defining access policies for encrypted data files. When a user uploads a duplicate file, the system checks for a matching file and replaces it with a reference to the existing copy to save storage. The system provides file and block-level deduplication for efficient storage and uses cryptographic techniques like MD5, 3DES and RSA for encryption, tagging and access control of encrypted duplicate data across clouds.
