Abstract

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for detecting duplicates with exact and fuzzy matching on encrypted match indexes using an encryption key in a cloud computing platform. An embodiment operates by determining a match rule index value upon reception of a new record. The embodiment encrypts the match index rule value using the customer's encryption key and a deterministic encryption method and stores the encrypted match rule index value. Duplicate detection may be later performed by using the same deterministic encryption method to determine a cypher text for a candidate entry and comparing the ciphertext to the stored encrypted match indexes.
