Actually, you can use convergent encryption to dedup encrypted files. It leaks information (because I can tell whether a file that I possess already exists on the server if the server is silly enough to tell me that it took no space/time) but it is indeed encrypted.

Also if you encrypt a file with a key made of all 0, it's still encrypted... :) I've added a few more details about my concerns in the other reply.
