An efficient integrity based multi-user blockchain framework for heterogeneous supply chain management applications

Abstract

Most of the traditional cloud-based applications are insecure and difficult to compute the data integrity with variable hash size on heterogeneous supply chain datasets. Also, cloud storage systems are independent of integrity computational and data security due to structured data and computational memory. As the size of the cloud data files is increasing in the public and private cloud servers, it is difficult to provide strong data security due to file format and high dimensionality. The computational time and storage space of the conventional attribute-based encryption and decryption models are high during the data integrity verification in the traditional blockchain frameworks. This paper implements a hybrid variable size data integrity algorithm on the heterogeneous cloud supply chain data files for the strong data encryption and decryption process. This work implements an optimized blockchain framework using the advanced heterogeneous integrity computation approach and integrity policy-based attribute encryption and decryption approach for better cloud data security. Experimental results proved that the proposed integrity-based encryption model has better efficiency than the traditional integrity-based encryption frameworks on cloud heterogeneous data types.
