Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of privacy leakage during data sharing in the Internet of Things, a blockchain based secure data sharing platform with fine-grained access control(BSDS-FA) is proposed. First, this paper proposes a new hierarchical attribute-based encryption algorithm, which uses hierarchical attribute structure and multi-level authorization center. The algorithm implements flexible and fine-grained access control by distributing different user attributes to different authorization centers. Then, it combined with the Fabric blockchain technology to solve the problem of huge decryption cost for users in the Internet of things. Smart contract in blockchain executes high-complexity partial decryption algorithm to reduce the users decryption overhead. Blockchain can also realize the traceability of historical operations to meet the security requirements of data restriction open and transparent supervision. Finally, the hierarchical attribute-based encryption algorithm is proved to be CPA-safe. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that BDSS-FA provides more secure and reliable data sharing services for users in the Internet of Things.
