= Convergent encryption
{wiki=Convergent_encryption}
Convergent encryption is a cryptographic technique that allows for secure data storage and sharing, particularly in cloud computing environments, while enabling deduplication of encrypted data. It combines standard encryption methods with a unique approach that focuses on the content of the data rather than the key used for encryption. \#\#\# Key Features of Convergent Encryption: 1. **Content-based Key Generation**: - In convergent encryption, the encryption key is derived from the content of the data itself.
