Abstract

The ability to track and trace assets in the supply chain is becoming increasingly important. In addition to asset tracking, the technologies used provide new opportunities for collecting and analyzing employee position and biometric data. As a result, these technologies can be used to monitor performance or track worker behavior, resulting in additional risks and stress for employees. Furthermore, contact tracing systems used to contain the COVID-19 outbreak have made positive patients' privacy public, resulting in violations of users' rights and even endangering their lives. To resolve this situation, a verifiable attributebased encryption (ABE) scheme based on homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge identification (ZKI) is proposed, with ZKI providing anonymity for data owners to resist tracking attacks and homomorphic encryption used to solve the problem of privacy leakage from location inquiries returned from a semi-honest server. Finally, theoretical security analysis and formal security verification show that our scheme is secure against the chosen plaintext attack (CPA) and other attacks. Besides that, our novel scheme is efficient enough in terms of user-side computation overhead for practical applications.

具有隐私意识的跟踪和追踪系统
在供应链中跟踪和追踪资产的能力变得越来越重要。除了资产跟踪之外,所使用的技术还为收集和分析员工职位和生物特征数据提供了新的机会。因此,这些技术可用于监控绩效或跟踪员工行为,从而给员工带来额外的风险和压力。此外,为遏制新冠肺炎疫情而使用的接触者追踪系统使阳性患者的隐私公开,侵犯了用户的权利,甚至危及他们的生命。针对这种情况,提出了一种基于同态加密和零知识识别(ZKI)的可验证的基于属性的加密(ABE)方案,ZKI为数据所有者提供匿名性以抵抗跟踪攻击,而同态加密用于解决半诚实服务器返回的位置查询的隐私泄露问题。最后,通过理论安全性分析和形式安全性验证,证明了该方案对选择明文攻击(CPA)和其他攻击是安全的。此外,就实际应用而言,我们的新方案在用户端计算开销方面足够有效。
