A Security Transmission and Storage Solution about Sensing Image for Blockchain in the Internet of Things

Abstract

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), the number of IoT devices has increased exponentially. Therefore, we have put forward higher security requirements for the management, transmission, and storage of massive IoT data. However, during the transmission process of IoT data, security issues, such as data theft and forgery, are prone to occur. In addition, most existing data storage solutions are centralized, i.e., data are stored and maintained by a centralized server. Once the server is maliciously attacked, the security of IoT data will be greatly threatened. In view of the above-mentioned security issues, a security transmission and storage solution is proposed about sensing image for blockchain in the IoT. Firstly, this solution intelligently senses user image information, and divides these sensed data into intelligent blocks. Secondly, different blocks of data are encrypted and transmitted securely through intelligent encryption algorithms. Finally, signature verification and storage are performed through an intelligent verification algorithm. Compared with the traditional IoT data transmission and centralized storage solution, our solution combines the IoT with the blockchain, making use of the advantages of blockchain decentralization, high reliability, and low cost to transfer and store users image information securely. Security analysis proves that the solution can resist theft attacks and ensure the security of user image information during transmission and storage.

A Maze Matrix-Based Secret Image Sharing Scheme with Cheater Detection

“…mapped to the edge reference element (2,4). By searching its associated rocket-shaped candidate turtle shells, the only matched back element is (2,2) = 7 =…”

“…. The recorded shadow pixels are therefore ( 1 ′ , 2 ′ ) = (2,2). Although (3,5) and (0,3) are also matched with the secret digit, they are not back elements and thus conflict with the embedding rule.…”

“…With the growing public concerns over Internet privacy and security, there is an urgent appeal for research into secure communications in massive IoT. Pioneering works include the aggregate-signcryption [1], decentralized blockchain [2], FORGE system [3], and chaotic maps [4]. In this paper, we address this issue with a novel approach based on secret image sharing.…”

Imagechain—Application of Blockchain Technology for Images

“…The problem with images is that they must be divided into parts of size up to 256 Kb, which is the limit set by a single IPFS object. A similar approach may be found in [ 15 ], where the authors presented an IoT-based solution for secure transmission and storage of digital images. Therefore, in existing solutions, the main trend is to divide the image and store its parts in the blockchain.…”
