Abstract

An embodiment of the invention provides an apparatus and method for data verification by challenge. The apparatus and method perform acts including: sending a hash value of a data piece in a sender; if the hash value matches a stored hash value in a receiver, then sending a challenge from the receiver to the sender; sending a sample data set from the data piece in the sender, wherein the sample data set is determined by a window that is identified by the challenge; comparing the sample data set with a data set that is overlapped by the window for a stored data piece in the receiver; and performing a response based on the comparison of the sample data set and the stored data set that is overlapped by the window for the stored data piece.
