The implementation of blockchain technology is becoming popular among cyber-physical systems. However, the current solutions suffer from scalability and privacy issues. In this position paper, we leverage zero-knowledge proof and multichain technology to propose an efficient system for data transferring across different components. Each component may maintain a private chain storing its data, and the system acts as a relayer between different chains, in which multiple private chains are efficient for appending new data. Only encrypted data is transferred from a source chain to a destination chain. The relayer handles data transferring in two phases: send and receive, and the relayer keeps a Merkle tree of all sent data. In fact, it only transfers the data if the receiver can submit a valid zero-knowledge proof that proves the ownership of the data. The zero-knowledge proof discloses nothing but the statement is true; therefore it protects anonymity for the data owners. This system is secure and satisfies relevant properties such as ledger indistinguishability, transaction non-malleability, and matchability.

“…The research on these topics is really active and even more advanced blockchain solutions are currently investigated, proposed and partially deployed. For example, the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) architecture 1 is based on a network of networks aimed at combining the resources of several computers and distributing computation. This happens by means of a protocol that supports the reading, replication, modification, and procurement of decentralized applications.…”

“…In practice, the digital twin of the ICP is a simulator that is able to mimic the relevant behaviors of the ICP architecture and that can be used to investigate some specific problems (e.g., scalability and resilience to attacks). A preliminary design of the digital twin of the ICP has been proposed by the authors in [1]. From our point of view, the ICP is a good example of next-generation blockchain to be simulated since it embodies the advanced features that sharded/multi-blockchains promise to deliver [2].…”
