Blockchain covert communication scheme based on the cover of normal transactions by Pengkun JIANG, Wenyin ZHANG, Jiuru WANG, Shanyun HUANG, Wanshui SONG

“…With the development of computer technology, the situation of modern network attack and defense is becoming increasingly severe, and the problem of secure transmission of secret information needs to be solved urgently.Covert communication technology embeds secret information into the carrier and transmits the information safely through the covert channel.However, the traditional covert channels face the challenges of data damaging, attack, detection and so on, which cannot meet the higher security requirements.As a public data platform, blockchain can embed secret information under the cover of a large number of transactions.With its tamper proof, anonymity, decentralization and other characteristics, blockchain can well solve the problems of traditional covert channels and achieve secure covert communication.However, the existing blockchain covert communication schemes are limited by low communication efficiency and poor security.How to improve safety and efficiency of covert communication is a research focus of blockchain covert communication.Motivated by this issue, a blockchain covert communication scheme based on the cover of normal transactions was proposed.The hash algorithm was used to build a transmission-free password table to embed secret information without changing any transaction data.Using the elliptic curve feature, transactions with hidden information can be quickly screened out from a large number of transactions, to extract secret information quickly.This scheme improves the security and efficiency of covert communication and has strong portability.Theoretical analysis shows that attackers cannot distinguish between ordinary transactions and special transactions.This scheme has high anti-detection and scalability.Besides, the experimental results of the bitcoin test network show the high efficiency of this scheme.…”

Blockchain-based high transparent PKI authentication protocol by Liquan CHEN, Xiao LI, Zheyi YANG, Sijie QIAN

“…The public key infrastructure (PKI), as an significant component of the current Internet security infrastructure, guarantees the information transmission with the necessary authenticity, integrity, confidentiality and non-repudiation.However, the existing PKI also has shortcomings of excessive power of certification authority and difficulties in revoking and querying.Blockchain can be used to solve those problems by leveraging its advantages, such as decentralization, high transparency and flat structure.Furthermore, the ability and efficiency of the entire Internet to establish trust relationships may be improved.The transparent public key infrastructure (PKI) certification protocol based on the blockchain was proposed.The TS-PBFT algorithm was designed in the proposed protocol by adopting the threshold signature technology to the Practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) algorithm.The TS-PBFT algorithm reduced the communication overhead via reducing the communication complexity, strengthened the supervision via introducing external monitoring mechanism in the master node election of the view change protocol, and also improved the performance of the consensus mechanism via adding a batch processing mechanism.Moreover, a transparent blockchain-based PKI certification protocol was designed.The proposed protocol increased the security of certificate revocation and query, it also improved the efficiency of the certificate query by the introduction of counting bloom filters.Besides, the proposed protocol added audit function into the certificate lifecycle management.Accordingly, it can supervise the behavior of the certificate authority (CA), prompt it to improve security standards, and then achieve the purpose of limiting its authority.According to the security analysis and efficiency experiments, the proposed protocol was equipped with security properties, such as the resistance to spoofing certificate application attacks, and it achieved the best performance on TLS/SSL handshake time compared with existing PKI protocols.…”
