Method, system and product for efficient size reduction of a Bloom filter. The method includes: creating an interleaved Bloom filter based on a Bloom filter, wherein the interleaved Bloom filter is defined so as to have non-sequential cells of the Bloom filter be positioned sequentially, wherein the interleaved Bloom filter interleaves segments of the Bloom filter, wherein a size of the segments is based on an interleaving factor. A reduced size Bloom filter having a number cells below the number of cells of the Bloom filter is computed. The computation includes computing a value of a cell in the reduced size Bloom filter based on two or more values of cells in the interleaved Bloom filter.
