Logisticschain: A Blockchain-Based Secure Storage Scheme for Logistics Data

Abstract

With the rapid development of information technology, logistics systems are developing towards intelligence. The Internet of Things (IoT) devices throughout the logistics network could provide strong support for smart logistics. However, due to the limited computing and storage resources of IoT devices, logistics data with user sensitive information are generally stored in a centralized cloud center, which could easily cause privacy leakage. In this paper, we propose Logisticschain, a blockchain-based secure storage scheme for logistics data. In this scheme, the sensing data from IoT devices should be encrypted for fine-grained access control, and a customized blockchain structure is proposed to improve the storage efficiency of systems. Also, an efficient consensus mechanism is introduced to improve the efficiency of the consensus process in the blockchain. Specific to the logistics process, the sensing data generated from IoT devices will be encrypted and aggregated into the blockchain to ensure data security. Moreover, the stored logistics records can be securely audited by leveraging the blockchain network; both IoT data and logistics demands cannot be deleted or tampered to avoid disputes. Finally, we analyze the security and privacy properties of our Logisticschain and evaluate its performance in terms of computational costs by developing an experimental platform.

Decentralized Consensus Blockchain and IPFS-Based Data Aggregation for Efficient Data Storage Scheme

“…An efficient consensus technique was implemented in [20] for enhancing the consensus process efficiency in blockchain. e sensing data that were generated from IoT devices that were desired to logistics process will be encrypted and were aggregated as blockchain for ensuring the security of data.…”

Design and Optimization of E-Commerce Logistics Distribution System Based on Multiobjective Function

“…Most items in the centralized procurement catalog of central government agencies have also implemented online procurement, at the current stage, how to attract consumers to consume online is not the biggest problem faced by e-commerce, how to improve the logistics system and bring fast and convenient logistics services to consumers, ensuring the safety of consumers' personal information and the protection of their legitimate rights and interests has become the biggest challenge for e-commerce companies. With the rise of e-commerce, the types and quantities of consumers' online shopping are constantly expanding, the number of items delivered has increased signi cantly, and consumers have higher requirements for the mode and e ciency of delivery services [2]. erefore, while doing a good job in the overall scheduling of logistics and improving e ciency, the logistics end link also needs to take corresponding methods and measures to adapt to consumers' requirements for distribution mode and e ciency, and further improve consumers' satisfaction with online shopping activities.…”

Logistics 4.0 measurement model: empirical validation based on an international survey

“…Similarly, also the limitation of data accessibility to different stakeholders (item 16) and the assurance of data security throughout the supply chain were not rated consistently as important (Item 1). This contrasts with recent research that investigates the capability of blockchain-based systems mitigating problems of security threats and privacy leak risks during the operation phase of intelligent logistics systems (Fu and Zhu, 2019; Li et al. , 2021).…”
