Immutability and traceability are the main reasons for the popularity of blockchain. Nevertheless, its transparency also makes the transactions visible to all participants, which seriously violates the privacy of some dealers. In order to transfer accounts over blockchain, all verifiers should be empowered with the ability to confirm the transactions, leading to the conflict between extensive consensus and individual privacy. Orienting to privacy issues of UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output), this paper exploited the unconditional security of Shamir’s secret sharing to construct a logic-physical map for public chain, which enabled noninteractive transaction verification without privacy infringement. A comprehensive analysis indicated that the proposed scheme is secure under UC (Universal Composability) framework with practical computation and communication overheads.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
