Abstract

The immense volume of data generated and collected by smart devices has significantly enhanced various aspects of our daily lives. However, safeguarding the sensitive information shared among these devices is crucial. Ensuring the security of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem from unauthorized access is imperative. Blockchain technology emerges as a promising solution to address these security concerns. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of Blockchain in handling the extensive data generated by smart devices is challenged by the rapid pace of IoT data generation and the slower transaction validation speed within Blockchain networks. This research aims to resolve these issues by integrating Blockchain with the Inter-Planetary File System (IPFS), creating a robust framework for secure data recording on a distributed storage network while enabling authorized access to the stored data. The proposed mechanism involves defining and recording access policies and cryptographic hash content on the Blockchain network, while storing the actual IoT-generated data on IPFS to enhance the confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) triad. Performance assessments of the proposed scheme demonstrate its security and practicality, validating its potential for real-world application.

区块链与 IPFS 的整合:物联网环境下的医疗数据管理与共享
智能设备生成和收集的大量数据极大地改善了我们日常生活的各个方面。然而,保护这些设备之间共享的敏感信息至关重要。当务之急是确保物联网生态系统的安全,防止未经授权的访问。区块链技术是解决这些安全问题的大有可为的解决方案。然而,由于物联网数据生成速度快,而区块链网络内的交易验证速度较慢,区块链在处理智能设备产生的大量数据方面的有效性受到了挑战。本研究旨在通过将区块链与星际文件系统(IPFS)集成来解决这些问题,从而创建一个强大的框架,用于在分布式存储网络上安全记录数据,同时实现对存储数据的授权访问。拟议的机制包括在区块链网络上定义和记录访问策略和加密哈希内容,同时在 IPFS 上存储物联网生成的实际数据,以增强保密性、完整性和可用性(CIA)三要素。拟议方案的性能评估证明了其安全性和实用性,验证了其在现实世界中的应用潜力。
