Abstract Along with the increase of wearable medical device, the privacy leakage problem in the process of transmission between these edge medical devices. The blockchain-enabled Internet of Medical Things (BIoMT) has been developed to reform traditional centralized medical system in recent years. This paper first introduces a data anonymous authentication model to protect user privacy and medical data in BIoMT. Then, a proxy group signature (PGS) scheme has been proposed based on lattice assumption. This scheme can well satisfy the anonymous authentication demand for the proposed model, and provide anti-quantum attack security for BIoMT in the More >

Abstract Behind the popularity of multimedia technology, the dispute over image copyright is getting worse. In the digital watermark prevention technology for copyright infringement, watermark technology is considered to be an important technology to overcome data protection problems and verify the relationship between data ownership. Among the many digital watermarking technologies, zero watermarking technology has been favored in recent years. However, the existing zero watermark technology in the implementation process often needs a trusted third party to store watermarks, which may make the data too central, data storage security is low and copyright registration costs are… More >

Abstract Internet of Everything (IoE) has emerged as a promising paradigm for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data among physical objects and humans over the Internet, and it can be widely applied in the fields of industry, transportation, commerce, and education. Recently, the emergence of 6G-enabled cybertwin network architecture provides the technical and theoretical foundation for the realization of IoE paradigm. However, the IoE has three open issues in the 6G-enabled cybertwin architecture, i.e., data authenticity, data storage and node reliability. To address these issues, we propose a blockchain-based decentralized reputation management system (BC-DRMS)… More >

Abstract The rapid development of blockchain technology has provided new ideas for network security research. Blockchain-based network security enhancement solutions are attracting widespread attention. This paper proposes an Internet domain name verification method based on blockchain. The authenticity of DNS (Domain Name System) resolution results is crucial for ensuring the accessibility of Internet services. Due to the lack of adequate security mechanisms, it has always been a challenge to verify the authenticity of Internet domain name resolution results. Although the solution represented by DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) can theoretically solve the domain name verification… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of cloud computing technology, cloud services have now become a new business model for information services. The cloud server provides the IT resources required by customers in a self-service manner through the network, realizing business expansion and rapid innovation. However, due to the insufficient protection of data privacy, the problem of data privacy leakage in cloud storage is threatening cloud computing. To address the problem, we propose BC-PECK, a data protection scheme based on blockchain and public key searchable encryption. Firstly, all the data is protected by the encryption algorithm. The… More >

Abstract Industry 4.0 is one of the hot topic of today’s world where everything in the industry will be data driven and technological advancements will take place accordingly. In the fourth phase of industrial revolution, manufacturers are dependent upon data produced by the consumers to invent, innovate or change anything for the product. Internet of things devices like OBD, RFID, IIoT, Smart devices are the major source of data generation and represents trends in the industry. Since the IoT device are vulnerable to hackers due to its limitation, consumer data security should be tighten up More >

Abstract The smart city is a technological framework that connects the city’s different components to create new opportunities. This connection is possible with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT), which provides a digital personality to physical objects. Some studies have proposed integrating Blockchain technology with IoT in different use cases as access, orchestration, or replicated storage layer. The majority of connected objects’ capacity limitation makes the use of Blockchain inadequate due to its redundancy and its conventional processing-intensive consensus like PoW. This paper addresses these challenges by proposing a NOVEL model of a lightweight… More >

Abstract PoW (Proof of Work) plays a significant role in most blockchain systems to grant an accounting right over decentralized participants and ensure tamper resistance. Though hash functions are generally exploited for PoW due to their merits on summering, anti-collision, and irreversibility, they cannot certify that the bookkeeper is exactly the worker. Thereafter, such insistence may lead to abuse or even embezzlement of computing power for the benefit of malicious miners. To preserve the functionality of PoW but also bind the miners’ signing keys with their works, we build a post-quantum PoW scheme by changing the More >
