For the goals of security and privacy preservation,we propose a blind batch encryption-and public ledger-based data sharing protocol that allows the integrity of sensitive data to be audited by a public ledger and allows privacy information to be preserved.Data owners can tightly manage their data with efficient revocation and only grant one-time adaptive access for the fulfillment of the requester.We prove that our protocol is semanticallly secure,blind,and secure against oblivious requesters and malicious file keepers.We also provide security analysis in the context of four typical attacks.

Blockchain-Enabled Federated Learning for Privacy-Preserving Non-IID Data Sharing in Industrial Internet

Sharing data while protecting privacy in the industrial Internet is a significant challenge.Traditional machine learning methods require a combination of all data for training;however,this approach can be limited by data availability and privacy concerns.Federated learning(FL)has gained considerable attention because it allows for decentralized training on multiple local datasets.However,the training data collected by data providers are often non-independent and identically distributed(non-IID),resulting in poor FL performance.This paper proposes a privacy-preserving approach for sharing non-IID data in the industrial Internet using an FL approach based on blockchain technology.To overcome the problem of non-IID data leading to poor training accuracy,we propose dynamically updating the local model based on the divergence of the global and local models.This approach can significantly improve the accuracy of FL training when there is relatively large dispersion.In addition,we design a dynamic gradient clipping algorithm to alleviate the influence of noise on the model accuracy to reduce potential privacy leakage caused by sharing model parameters.Finally,we evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme using commonly used open-source image datasets.The simulation results demonstrate that our method can significantly enhance the accuracy while protecting privacy and maintaining efficiency,thereby providing a new solution to data-sharing and privacy-protection challenges in the industrial Internet.

A General Framework for Intelligent IoT Data Acquisition and Sharing in an Untrusted Environment Based on Blockchain

Traditional Io T systems suffer from high equipment management costs and difficulty in trustworthy data sharing caused by centralization.Blockchain provides a feasible research direction to solve these problems. The main challenge at this stage is to integrate the blockchain from the resourceconstrained Io T devices and ensure the data of Io T system is credible. We provide a general framework for intelligent Io T data acquisition and sharing in an untrusted environment based on the blockchain, where gateways become Oracles. A distributed Oracle network based on Byzantine Fault Tolerant algorithm is used to provide trusted data for the blockchain to make intelligent Io T data trustworthy. An aggregation contract is deployed to collect data from various Oracle and share the credible data to all on-chain users. We also propose a gateway data aggregation scheme based on the REST API event publishing/subscribing mechanism which uses SQL to achieve flexible data aggregation. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can alleviate the problem of limited performance of Io T equipment, make data reliable, and meet the diverse data needs on the chain.

FADSF:A Data Sharing Model for Intelligent Connected Vehicles Based on Blockchain Technology

With the development of technology,the connected vehicle has been upgraded from a traditional transport vehicle to an information terminal and energy storage terminal.The data of ICV(intelligent connected vehicles)is the key to organically maximizing their efficiency.However,in the context of increasingly strict global data security supervision and compliance,numerous problems,including complex types of connected vehicle data,poor data collaboration between the IT(information technology)domain and OT(operation technology)domain,different data format standards,lack of shared trust sources,difficulty in ensuring the quality of shared data,lack of data control rights,as well as difficulty in defining data ownership,make vehicle data sharing face a lot of problems,and data islands are widespread.This study proposes FADSF(Fuzzy Anonymous Data Share Frame),an automobile data sharing scheme based on blockchain.The data holder publishes the shared data information and forms the corresponding label storage on the blockchain.The data demander browses the data directory information to select and purchase data assets and verify them.The data demander selects and purchases data assets and verifies them by browsing the data directory information.Meanwhile,this paper designs a data structure Data Discrimination Bloom Filter(DDBF),making complaints about illegal data.When the number of data complaints reaches the threshold,the audit traceability contract is triggered to punish the illegal data publisher,aiming to improve the data quality and maintain a good data sharing ecology.In this paper,based on Ethereum,the above scheme is tested to demonstrate its feasibility,efficiency and security.

Transparent and Accountable Training Data Sharing in Decentralized Machine Learning Systems

In Decentralized Machine Learning(DML)systems,system participants contribute their resources to assist others in developing machine learning solutions.Identifying malicious contributions in DML systems is challenging,which has led to the exploration of blockchain technology.Blockchain leverages its transparency and immutability to record the provenance and reliability of training data.However,storing massive datasets or implementing model evaluation processes on smart contracts incurs high computational costs.Additionally,current research on preventing malicious contributions in DML systems primarily focuses on protecting models from being exploited by workers who contribute incorrect or misleading data.However,less attention has been paid to the scenario where malicious requesters intentionally manipulate test data during evaluation to gain an unfair advantage.This paper proposes a transparent and accountable training data sharing method that securely shares data among potentially malicious system participants.First,we introduce a blockchain-based DML system architecture that supports secure training data sharing through the IPFS network.Second,we design a blockchain smart contract to transparently split training datasets into training and test datasets,respectively,without involving system participants.Under the system,transparent and accountable training data sharing can be achieved with attribute-based proxy re-encryption.We demonstrate the security analysis for the system,and conduct experiments on the Ethereum and IPFS platforms to show the feasibility and practicality of the system.

A Novel Agricultural Data Sharing Mode Based on Rice Disease Identification

In this paper,a variety of classical convolutional neural networks are trained on two different datasets using transfer learning method.We demonstrated that the training dataset has a significant impact on the training results,in addition to the optimization achieved through the model structure.However,the lack of open-source agricultural data,combined with the absence of a comprehensive open-source data sharing platform,remains a substantial obstacle.This issue is closely related to the difficulty and high cost of obtaining high-quality agricultural data,the low level of education of most employees,underdeveloped distributed training systems and unsecured data security.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a novel idea of constructing an agricultural data sharing platform based on a federated learning(FL)framework,aiming to overcome the deficiency of high-quality data in agricultural field training.

BC-PC-Share:Blockchain-Based Patient-Centric Data Sharing Scheme for PHRs in Cloud Computing

Sharing of personal health records(PHR)in cloud computing is an essential functionality in the healthcare system.However,how to securely,efficiently and flexibly share PHRs data of the patient in a multi-receiver setting has not been well addressed.For instance,since the trust domain of the cloud server is not identical to the data owner or data user,the semi-trust cloud service provider may intentionally destroy or tamper shared PHRs data of user or only transform partial ciphertext of the shared PHRs or even return wrong computation results to save its storage and computation resource,to pursue maximum economic interest or other malicious purposes.Thus,the PHRs data storing or sharing via the cloud server should be performed with consistency and integrity verification.Fortunately,the emergence of blockchain technology provides new ideas and prospects for ensuring the consistency and integrity of shared PHRs data.To this end,in this work,we leverage the consortiumblockchain technology to enhance the trustworthiness of each participant and propose a blockchain-based patient-centric data sharing scheme for PHRs in cloud computing(BC-PC-Share).Different from the state-of-art schemes,our proposal can achieve the following desired properties:(1)Realizing patient-centric PHRs sharing with a public verification function,i.e.,which can ensure that the returned shared data is consistent with the requested shared data and the integrity of the shared data is not compromised.(2)Supporting scalable and fine-grained access control and sharing of PHRs data with multiple domain users,such as hospitals,medical research institutes,and medical insurance companies.(3)Achieving efficient user decryption by leveraging the transformation key technique and efficient user revocation by introducing time-controlled access.The security analysis and simulation experiment demonstrate that the proposed BC-PC-Share scheme is a feasible and promising solution for PHRs data sharing via consortium blockchain.

Evolutionary privacy-preserving learning strategies for edge-based IoT data sharing schemes

The fast proliferation of edge devices for the Internet of Things(IoT)has led to massive volumes of data explosion.The generated data is collected and shared using edge-based IoT structures at a considerably high frequency.Thus,the data-sharing privacy exposure issue is increasingly intimidating when IoT devices make malicious requests for filching sensitive information from a cloud storage system through edge nodes.To address the identified issue,we present evolutionary privacy preservation learning strategies for an edge computing-based IoT data sharing scheme.In particular,we introduce evolutionary game theory and construct a payoff matrix to symbolize intercommunication between IoT devices and edge nodes,where IoT devices and edge nodes are two parties of the game.IoT devices may make malicious requests to achieve their goals of stealing privacy.Accordingly,edge nodes should deny malicious IoT device requests to prevent IoT data from being disclosed.They dynamically adjust their own strategies according to the opponent's strategy and finally maximize the payoffs.Built upon a developed application framework to illustrate the concrete data sharing architecture,a novel algorithm is proposed that can derive the optimal evolutionary learning strategy.Furthermore,we numerically simulate evolutionarily stable strategies,and the final results experimentally verify the correctness of the IoT data sharing privacy preservation scheme.Therefore,the proposed model can effectively defeat malicious invasion and protect sensitive information from leaking when IoT data is shared.

Federated Learning with Blockchain for Privacy-Preserving Data Sharing in Internet of Vehicles

Data sharing technology in Internet of Vehicles(Io V)has attracted great research interest with the goal of realizing intelligent transportation and traffic management.Meanwhile,the main concerns have been raised about the security and privacy of vehicle data.The mobility and real-time characteristics of vehicle data make data sharing more difficult in Io V.The emergence of blockchain and federated learning brings new directions.In this paper,a data-sharing model that combines blockchain and federated learning is proposed to solve the security and privacy problems of data sharing in Io V.First,we use federated learning to share data instead of exposing actual data and propose an adaptive differential privacy scheme to further balance the privacy and availability of data.Then,we integrate the verification scheme into the consensus process,so that the consensus computation can filter out low-quality models.Experimental data shows that our data-sharing model can better balance the relationship between data availability and privacy,and also has enhanced security.

FPGA Optimized Accelerator of DCNN with Fast Data Readout and Multiplier Sharing Strategy

With the continuous development of deep learning,Deep Convolutional Neural Network(DCNN)has attracted wide attention in the industry due to its high accuracy in image classification.Compared with other DCNN hard-ware deployment platforms,Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA)has the advantages of being programmable,low power consumption,parallelism,and low cost.However,the enormous amount of calculation of DCNN and the limited logic capacity of FPGA restrict the energy efficiency of the DCNN accelerator.The traditional sequential sliding window method can improve the throughput of the DCNN accelerator by data multiplexing,but this method’s data multiplexing rate is low because it repeatedly reads the data between rows.This paper proposes a fast data readout strategy via the circular sliding window data reading method,it can improve the multiplexing rate of data between rows by optimizing the memory access order of input data.In addition,the multiplication bit width of the DCNN accelerator is much smaller than that of the Digital Signal Processing(DSP)on the FPGA,which means that there will be a waste of resources if a multiplication uses a single DSP.A multiplier sharing strategy is proposed,the multiplier of the accelerator is customized so that a single DSP block can complete multiple groups of 4,6,and 8-bit signed multiplication in parallel.Finally,based on two strategies of appeal,an FPGA optimized accelerator is proposed.The accelerator is customized by Verilog language and deployed on Xilinx VCU118.When the accelerator recognizes the CIRFAR-10 dataset,its energy efficiency is 39.98 GOPS/W,which provides 1.73×speedup energy efficiency over previous DCNN FPGA accelerators.When the accelerator recognizes the IMAGENET dataset,its energy efficiency is 41.12 GOPS/W,which shows 1.28×−3.14×energy efficiency compared with others.

Enabling data sharing among smart grid power suppliers is a pressing challenge due to technical hurdles in verifying,storing,and synchronizing energy metering data.Access and sharing limitations are stringent for users,power companies,and researchers,demanding significant resources and time for permissions and verification.This paper proposes a blockchain-based architecture for secure and efficient sharing of electric energy metering data.Further,we propose a data sharing model based on evolutionary game theory.Based on the Lyapunov stability theory,the model’s evolutionary stable strategy(ESS)is analyzed.Numerical results verify the correctness and practicability of the scheme proposed in this paper,and provide a new method for realizing convenient,safe and fast data sharing.

Cross-Domain Bilateral Access Control on Blockchain-Cloud Based Data Trading System

Data trading enables data owners and data requesters to sell and purchase data.With the emergence of blockchain technology,research on blockchain-based data trading systems is receiving a lot of attention.Particularly,to reduce the on-chain storage cost,a novel paradigm of blockchain and cloud fusion has been widely considered as a promising data trading platform.Moreover,the fact that data can be used for commercial purposes will encourage users and organizations from various fields to participate in the data marketplace.In the data marketplace,it is a challenge how to trade the data securely outsourced to the external cloud in a way that restricts access to the data only to authorized users across multiple domains.In this paper,we propose a cross-domain bilateral access control protocol for blockchain-cloud based data trading systems.We consider a system model that consists of domain authorities,data senders,data receivers,a blockchain layer,and a cloud provider.The proposed protocol enables access control and source identification of the outsourced data by leveraging identity-based cryptographic techniques.In the proposed protocol,the outsourced data of the sender is encrypted under the target receiver’s identity,and the cloud provider performs policy-match verification on the authorization tags of the sender and receiver generated by the identity-based signature scheme.Therefore,data trading can be achieved only if the identities of the data sender and receiver simultaneously meet the policies specified by each other.To demonstrate efficiency,we evaluate the performance of the proposed protocol and compare it with existing studies.

Secure Big Data Storage and Sharing Scheme for Cloud Tenants

The Cloud is increasingly being used to store and process big data for its tenants and classical security mechanisms using encryption are neither sufficiently efficient nor suited to the task of protecting big data in the Cloud.In this paper,we present an alternative approach which divides big data into sequenced parts and stores them among multiple Cloud storage service providers.Instead of protecting the big data itself,the proposed scheme protects the mapping of the various data elements to each provider using a trapdoor function.Analysis,comparison and simulation prove that the proposed scheme is efficient and secure for the big data of Cloud tenants.

Secure and Efficient Data Storage and Sharing Scheme Based on Double Blockchain

In the digital era,electronic medical record(EMR)has been a major way for hospitals to store patients’medical data.The traditional centralized medical system and semi-trusted cloud storage are difficult to achieve dynamic balance between privacy protection and data sharing.The storage capacity of blockchain is limited and single blockchain schemes have poor scalability and low throughput.To address these issues,we propose a secure and efficient medical data storage and sharing scheme based on double blockchain.In our scheme,we encrypt the original EMR and store it in the cloud.The storage blockchain stores the index of the complete EMR,and the shared blockchain stores the index of the shared part of the EMR.Users with different attributes can make requests to different blockchains to share different parts according to their own permissions.Through experiments,it was found that cloud storage combined with blockchain not only solved the problem of limited storage capacity of blockchain,but also greatly reduced the risk of leakage of the original EMR.Content Extraction Signature(CES)combined with the double blockchain technology realized the separation of the privacy part and the shared part of the original EMR.The symmetric encryption technology combined with Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption(CP–ABE)not only ensures the safe storage of data in the cloud,but also achieves the consistency and convenience of data update,avoiding redundant backup of data.Safety analysis and performance analysis verified the feasibility and effectiveness of our scheme.

With the development of the Internet of Things(IoT),the massive data sharing between IoT devices improves the Quality of Service(QoS)and user experience in various IoT applications.However,data sharing may cause serious privacy leakages to data providers.To address this problem,in this study,data sharing is realized through model sharing,based on which a secure data sharing mechanism,called BP2P-FL,is proposed using peer-to-peer federated learning with the privacy protection of data providers.In addition,by introducing the blockchain to the data sharing,every training process is recorded to ensure that data providers offer high-quality data.For further privacy protection,the differential privacy technology is used to disturb the global data sharing model.The experimental results show that BP2P-FL has high accuracy and feasibility in the data sharing of various IoT applications.
