Three-Stage Cross-Chain Protocol Based on Notary Group

Abstract

With the continuous development of blockchain technology and economy, blockchain applications have been well developed in multiple key areas. The demand for interoperability between different blockchains is also increasing. Cross-chain protocol has become a major approach to solve cross-chain problems by defining a series of cross-chain processes and standards. In response to the problems of long transaction time, high transaction costs, and high degree of centralization in most cross-chain protocols, this paper proposes a three-stage cross-chain protocol based on transaction notary groups and verification notary groups. Without increasing transaction costs and transaction time, the centralization problem of notary mechanism cross-chain technology is solved, realizing secure and fast interaction between different blockchains. Experimental results show that as long as malicious nodes in the notary group do not exceed one-third, the three-stage cross-chain protocol can effectively ensure the security of cross-chain transactions and solve the centralization problem.

A trusted medical data sharing framework for edge computing leveraging blockchain and outsourced computation

“…Blockchain functions as a decentralized ledger within a peer-to-peer network, with each participating node maintaining a complete copy of the ledger [ 48 , 49 ]. This redundancy guarantees data accessibility, even in the event of a single node failure, effectively mitigating the risk of data loss.…”

Privacy-Preserving Multi-Party Cross-Chain Transaction Protocols

“…However, the introduction of the consortium chain increases the complexity of cross-chain transactions. Chen [42] proposes a three-stage cross-chain protocol based on transaction and verification notary groups, which can address efficiency and centralization issues in cross-chain transactions. But the notary group remains fragile under the circumstances, while the number of malicious opponents exceeds one-third.…”
