A Novel Blockchain Identity Authentication Scheme Implemented in Fog Computing

Abstract

In a fog computing environment, lots of devices need to be authenticated in order to keep the platform being secured. To solve this problem, we turn to blockchain techniques. Unlike the identification cryptographic scheme based on elliptic curves, the proposed 2-adic ring identity authentication scheme inherits the high verification efficiency and high key distribution of sequence ciphers of 2-adic ring theory, and this algorithm adds identity hiding function and trading node supervision function by design. The main designed application scenario of this solution is applicable to the consortium blockchain, and the master nodes are mutually trusting cooperative relations. The node transaction verification and block generation consensus algorithm designed in this solution can be implemented in a set of algorithms, which has higher verification efficiency and easier to be deployed than other solutions. This scheme can be widely used in the fog computing environment.

Blockchain-Based Identity Management System and Self-Sovereign Identity Ecosystem: A Comprehensive Survey

“…Wang and Jiang [2] utilize two-adic ring theory [114] and related arithmetic algorithms to authenticate identities in a consortium blockchain for a fog computing environment. The two-adic ring is a finite ring that can be used to represent any bit string contained within a finite field.…”

“…An identity authentication system is required to keep the environments secure because of this decentralization of the network. Though blockchain is a relatively new technology, it possesses properties of transparency, immutability, credibility, tamper resistance, traceability, and decentralization necessary for various applications [2]. Using blockchain for identity management can give individuals ownership of their identities by providing a global ID that can be used for diverse purposes.…”

An Edge‐Cloud Collaborative Cross‐Domain Identity‐Based Authentication Protocol with Privacy Protection

“…In Ref. [1], a cross-domain authentication scheme based on certificateless cryptosystem is proposed. This scheme combined with the PKI cryptographic system can anonymously track the identity of the terminal entity.…”

“…A blockchain‐based identity authentication scheme in a fog computing environment is proposed in Ref. [2]. This scheme proposes a two‐element ring identity authentication scheme based on the two‐element ring theory sequence cipher, so this scheme has high verification efficiency and key distribution.…”
