In view of the problems of inefficient data encryption, non-support of malicious user revocation and data integrity checking in current smart grid data sharing schemes, this paper proposes a blockchain-based multi-authority revocable data sharing scheme in the smart grid. Using online/offline encryption technology with hybrid encryption technology enhances the encryption performance for the data owner. The use of user binary tree technology enables the traceability and revocability of malicious users. The introduction of multiple attribute authorization authorities eliminates the threat of collusive attacks that exist in traditional data-sharing schemes. In addition, the semi-honest problem of third-party servers is solved by uploading data verification credentials to the blockchain. The security analysis results show that the scheme can resist selective plaintext attacks and collusion attacks. The performance analysis results show that the proposed scheme has lower computational overhead and better functionality than similar schemes, which is suitable for secure data sharing in smart grids.

Abstract

In view of the problems of inefficient data encryption, non-support of malicious user revocation and data integrity checking in current smart grid data sharing schemes, this paper proposes a blockchain-based multi-authority revocable data sharing scheme in the smart grid. Using online/offline encryption technology with hybrid encryption technology enhances the encryption performance for the data owner. The use of user binary tree technology enables the traceability and revocability of malicious users. The introduction of multiple attribute authorization authorities eliminates the threat of collusive attacks that exist in traditional data-sharing schemes. In addition, the semi-honest problem of third-party servers is solved by uploading data verification credentials to the blockchain. The security analysis results show that the scheme can resist selective plaintext attacks and collusion attacks. The performance analysis results show that the proposed scheme has lower computational overhead and better functionality than similar schemes, which is suitable for secure data sharing in smart grids.
