Power Trading and Access Control Scheme Based on IPFS and Blockchain

In recent years, a large number of renewable energy power plants have been built all over the country, which has led to a sharp increase in the pressure on the current centralized electricity trading platform. There are data storage bottlenecks and data privacy problems in the current blockchain-based power transaction and access control system. In this paper, the interstellar file system is proposed to store the data of the new distributed power trading platform in a distributed way, so as to improve the storage capacity of the physical nodes; An improved ciphertext strategy attribute encryption scheme, which is lightweight, traceable and supports outsourced decryption combined with state secret algorithm, is adopted to integrate the user’s unique identity into the user’s private key and part of the expensive decryption calculation is outsourced to the cloud server to realize fine-grained data access control in the electricity market. The experimental results show that compared to the basic CP-ABE scheme, when the encryption attribute is 100, the decryption time of the proposed scheme is reduced from 556[Formula: see text]ms to 1.1[Formula: see text]ms; Compared to blockchain-based solutions alone, when storing data of 15[Formula: see text]MB, GAS consumption decreases from 2968738133 to 89360. The scheme can greatly improve the storage capacity of the system, improve the operational efficiency and meet the actual performance requirements.
