A verifiable and efficient cross-chain calculation model for charging pile reputation

To solve the current situation of low vehicle-to-pile ratio, charging pile (CP) operators incorporate private CPs into the shared charging system. However, the introduction of private CP has brought about the problem of poor service quality. Reputation is a common service evaluation scheme, in which the third-party reputation scheme has the issue of single point of failure; although the blockchain-based reputation scheme solves the single point of failure issue, it also brings the challenges of storage and query efficiency. It is a feasible solution to classify and store information on multiple chains, and at this time, reputation needs to be calculated in a cross-chain mode. Crosschain reputation calculation faces the problems of correctness verification, integrity verification and efficiency. Therefore, this paper proposes a verifiable and efficient cross-chain calculation model for CP reputation. Specially, in this model, we propose a verifiable cross-chain contract calculation scheme that adopts polynomial commitment to solve the problems of polynomial damage and tampering that may be encountered in the crosschain process of outsourced polynomials, so as to ensure the integrity and correctness of polynomial calculations. In addition, the miner selection and incentive mechanism algorithm in this scheme ensures the correctness of extracted information when the outsourced polynomial is calculated on the blockchain. The security analysis and experimental results demonstrate that this scheme is feasible in practice.
