ABSTRACT = {Edge computing devices are widely deployed. An important issue that arises is 
in that these devices suffer from security attacks. To deal with it, we turn to the 
blockchain technologies. The note in the alliance chain need rules to limit write 
permissions. Alliance chain can provide security management functions, using these 
functions to meet the management between the members, certification, authorization, 
monitoring and auditing. This article mainly analyzes some requirements realization 
which applies to the alliance chain, and introduces a new consensus algorithm, 
generalized Legendre sequence (GLS) consensus algorithm, for alliance chain. GLS 
algorithms inherit the recognition and verification efficiency of binary sequence ciphers 
in computer communication and can solve a large number of nodes verification of key 
distribution issues. In the alliance chain, GLS consensus algorithm can complete node 
address hiding, automatic task sorting, task automatic grouping, task node scope 
confirmation, task address binding and stamp timestamp. Moreover, the GLS consensus 
algorithm increases the difficulty of network malicious attack.},
