Multi-function supported privacy protection data aggregation scheme for V2G network by Baiji HU, Xiaojuan ZHANG, Yuancheng LI, Rongxin LAI

“…In view of the problem that the functions of the current privacy protection data aggregation scheme were insufficient to meet the increasingly rich application requirements, a multi-function supported privacy protection data aggregation (MFPDA) scheme for V2G network was proposed.By using cryptographic algorithms such as BGN, BLS, and Shamir’s secret sharing, as well as fog computing and consortium blockchain technology, multiple security functions like fault tolerance, resistance to internal attacks, batch signature verification, no need for trusted third parties, and multiple aggregation functions were integrated into one privacy protection data aggregation scheme.Security analysis shows that the proposed scheme can protect data aggregation’s security, privacy and reliability.The performance evaluation shows that the introduction of fog computing can significantly reduce the computing overhead of the control center, and the reduction rate can be as high as 66.6%; the improvement of the consortium blockchain can effectively reduce the communication and storage overhead of the system, and the reduction rate can reach 16.7% and 24.9% respectively.…”

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.…”
