AbstractThe traditional data storage method often adopts centralized architecture, which is prone to trust and security problems. This paper proposes a trusted data storage and access control scheme combining blockchain and attribute-based encryption, which allow cyber-physical system (CPS) nodes to realize the fine-grained access control strategy. At the same time, this paper combines the blockchain technology with distributed storage, and only store the access control policy and the data access address on the blockchain, which solves the storage bottleneck of blockchain system. Furthermore, this paper proposes a novel multi-authority attributed-based identification method, which realizes distributed attribute key generation and simplifies the pairwise authentication process of multi-authority. It can not only address the key escrow problem of one single authority, but also reduce the problem of high communication overhead and heavy burden of multi-authority. The analyzed results show that the proposed scheme has better comprehensive performance in trusted data storage and access control for power cyber-physical system.
