Zusammenfassung:With the rapid development of 5G/6G, most Internet of Things (IoT) devices will embrace wireless connection in the near future. A public concern is how to securely organize, store and retrieve data generated from IoT devices. Many cloud-based IoT data storage schemes have been proposed recently. However, for an untrusted or vulnerable cloud server, the stored IoT data can be easily accessed, modified and even destroyed given that the IoT data are stored in total centralization. Moreover, the servers in a cloud are generally homogeneous and thus vulnerable to attacks. For improvements, we design a novel framework for secure and efficient IoT data storage based on secret sharing and a collaborative blockchain. First, an ultra-lightweight secret sharing algorithm is designed to map original messages generated by IoT devices to a set of shorter message shares. Second, all the shares of IoT messages are separately delivered to different clouds for storage. To guarantee the security of shares, the delivery is notarized on a proposed blockchain. Specifically, both hash values of the shares and their information of location are embedded in blocks which are then chained to form a blockchain. Third, we create a balanced index structure about the shares for each cloud storage node based on the information in the blockchain, and we also propose a depth-first data search algorithm to improve IoT data retrieval efficiency. Theoretical analysis and simulation results illustrate that our scheme can store and retrieve the IoT data securely and efficiently.
