6G oriented blockchain based Internet of things data sharing and storage mechanism by Yu’na JIANG, Xiaohu GE, Yang YANG, Chengxiang WANG, Jie LI

“…Considering the heterogeneity of various IoT system and the single point failure of centralized data-processing platform,a decentralized IoT data sharing and storage method based on blockchain technology was proposed.The block consensus and decentralized storage of shared data were realized through the PoS consensus mechanism.A block layered propagation mechanism between consensus node and verified node was proposed based on the Gossip protocol.The block propagation delay model and decentralization evaluation model of blockchain networks were derived.The trade-off between the block propagation delay and the decentralization degree of networks was analyzed.The simulation results demonstrate that the block propagation delay and degree of network decentralization decrease with the increase of minimal capabilities of consensus nodes.As an application example,in the trajectory data sharing scenario of confirmed patients,the data sharing smart contract is implemented and tested based on the Ethereum development platform.…”

Analysis and improvement of ZG off-line TTP non-repudiation protocol by LIU Dong-mei1, QING Si-han 2, LI Peng-fei4, LI Shang-jie1

“…Based on the weakness of ZG off-line TTP（trusted third party） non-repudiation protocol because of using pro-tocol deadline, the improvement of the ZG off-line TTP non-repudiation protocol was given, which eliminated the delay-ing resolve request attack and ensured non-repudiation and fairness.Therefore, two kinds of improvement of ZG off-line TTP non-repudiation protocol were given, which had different point of focus.Among them, the first one could eliminate delaying message attack in ZG protocol;the second one also had the property of preventing the abuse of sub-protocol be-sides eliminating delaying message attack.The first one is suitable for electronic payment and certified email, but the second one is suitable for digital contract signature.…”

Data management based on blockchain and edge computing for Internet of things by Guanjie CHENG, Zhengjie HUANG, Shuiguang DENG

“…The popularity of smart devices has driven the development of the application of Internet of things (IoT) technology,and the resulting massive amount of IoT data has brought challenges to traditional centralized data management methods,such as performance,privacy,and security.Therefore,a data management framework of IoT based on blockchain and edge computing was proposed to support the distributed IoT data management.The distributed storage and access control could be provided by the framework for the IoT data.At the same time,a set of the built-in encryption scheme was designed to protect the data security and privacy and safeguard the data ownership.By introducing edge computing,the scalability bottleneck of the blockchain the system was relieved.The processes of data storage and data access based on this framework were given,and the algorithm of the system implementation based on the smart contract technology was explained in detail.Experiments show that the IoT data management system based on this framework outperforms the traditional cloud-based data management systems.…”
