Data traceability mechanism based on consortium chain by Shoucai ZHAO, Lifeng CAO, Xuehui DU

“…With the unprecedented growth in the speed of data generation and circulation in the era of big data, the emergence of blockchain technology provides a new solution for data authenticity verification.However, with the increasing demand for data flow between different blockchains, new security issues arise.Cross-chain data transmission can lead to data leakage, and detecting data leakage caused by illegal access becomes challenging.To address these problems, a data traceability mechanism based on a consortium chain was proposed.A cross-blockchain data traceability model was designed, incorporating private data pipelines to ensure the security of cross-chain data transmission.User behaviors were recorded through authorization and access logs, ensuring the traceability of illegal unauthorized access.To improve the efficiency of data traceability and query, an on-chain and off-chain synchronous storage mechanism was adopted.The state of data flow before each transaction was encrypted and stored in the database, and its index was stored in the blockchain transaction.This enables a one-to-one correspondence between on-chain and off-chain data.Additionally, Merkle trees were introduced into the block body to store block summaries, enhancing the efficiency of block legitimacy verification.Based on the data storage form and cross-chain data interaction mechanism, a data traceability algorithm was designed.The traceability results were displayed in the form of an ordered tree.An experimental environment for consortium chain traceability was built using fabric, targeting the cross-domain data traceability scenario in the e-commerce industry.The GO language was used to simulate and test the data traceability performance with a large number of blocks and transactions.The results demonstrate that with the increasing number of blocks and transactions, the proposed data traceability mechanism maintains satisfactory performance.…”

Analysis on anonymity and regulation of digital currency transactions based on game theory by Xian ZHANG, Jianming ZHU, Zhiyuan SUI, Shengzhi MING

“…By using technologies such as blockchain, digital currency, as a new type of monetary asset, has been promoting the development of digital economy.Digital currency trading platform plays an important role in the use of private digital currency by digital currency users.Existing digital currency trading platforms may expose users’ privacy and provide illegal elements with the conditions to participate in various abnormal trading behaviors such as“air dropping” events, extortion, fraud, etc.The strong anonymity protection of users by digital currency trading platforms also make it more difficult for regulatory authorities to supervise digital currency transactions.Therefore, the strength of the anonymity protection of users by digital currency trading platforms need to consider not only the privacy protection of users, but also meet the regulatory requirements.For this reason, based on the analysis of the relationship between the digital currency trading platforms and the supervisory departments, an evolutionary game model was established, the digital currency trading platform and the supervisory game model were defined and constructed, and the replication dynamic equation was solved and the balanced solution was obtained according to the income matrix between the digital currency trading platform and the supervisory department.By building a Jacobian matrix, the stability of the evolutionary system under different parameters was analyzed.Besides, the evolutionary stable selection and strategy of the digital currency trading platform and the regulatory authority under different conditions were also analyzed.With Matlab, different strategies of anonymity protection of the digital currency trading platform and different strategies of supervision strategy of the regulatory department were simulated to verify the accuracy of the game model.Based on the results of the simulations, some suggestions on the supervision of digital currency trading platforms are put forward, which provides a theoretical basis for the future supervision of digital currency trading platforms in China.…”
