“… Yang et al (2022) proposed a blockchain-based data sharing framework for industrial IoT that records all data sharing activities in a blockchain for secure data sharing and auditing. Additionally, Chenli et al (2022) designed a blockchain-based data-sharing platform that uses smart contracts to control access to data stored on the blockchain. While these schemes ensure the integrity and immutability of shared data using blockchain technology, the open and transparent nature of blockchain poses a risk of data leakage.…”

The traditional data-sharing model relies on a centralized third-party platform, which presents challenges such as poor transaction transparency and unsecured data security. In this article, we propose a blockchain-based traceable and secure data-sharing scheme. Firstly, we designed an attribute encryption-based method to protect data and enable fine-grained shared access. Secondly, we developed a secure data storage scheme that combines on-chain and off-chain collaboration. The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is used to store encrypted data off-chain, and the hash value of encrypted data is stored on the blockchain. To improve data security, elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) encryption is performed before the hash value is stored. Finally, we designed a smart contract-based log tracking mechanism. The mechanism stores data sharing records on the blockchain and displays them in a visual form to meet the identity tracking needs of both data sharing parties. Experimental results show that our scheme can effectively secure data, track the identities of both parties sharing data in real-time, and ensure high data throughput.

“…If traditional databases implement unilateral maintenance of data, blockchain implements multi-party maintenance of the same data to ensure data security and business fairness. For this reason, although blockchain was initially used in digital currencies [11][12][13], its decentralization and traceability make it an effective solution for sharing data across different organizations [14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

Material research and development driven by data analysis necessitates a substantial volume of data. However, conventional material data sharing platforms encounter challenges in sharing and integrating data across multiple platforms. This article proposes a blockchain-based materials data discovery and sharing infrastructure—InterMat, which is a material big data management and sharing framework model integrating cloud platforms and blockchain. It could support the full lifecycle of materials data sharing, including data generation, management, discovery, sharing, traceability, and valuation. The architecture of the InterMat, its unique method of constructing a consortium chain, and the protocol for data discovery are presented in this paper. Additionally, the method for materials data identifier and blockchain certification is established, which allows for a unified identifier on the blockchain and cloud-based data addressing from various organizations. InterMat has data discovery algorithms for various materials to achieve the discovery of similar materials data from different nodes. Furthermore, we have designed some blockchain smart contracts for InterMat to encourage data sharing across nodes. These contracts include a proof smart contract that records data sharing activities, ensuring transparency and traceability in the materials data flow. The other contract is a value-estimating contract to encourage high-quality data sharing. Finally, this article introduces the application case of InterMat, using steel materials as an example to demonstrate its applications in data management, data discovery, data valuation, etc. This study successfully addresses various challenges associated with the cross-platform sharing of materials data, such as issues related to data discovery, data rights and control, and willingness to share. InterMat can assist material researchers in discovering and accessing more data, which would create a new ecology for sharing data.

“…Because blockchain can maintain a track record of transactions, it increases the ability to audit information and reduces the cost of guarantees and the time spent on the audit process ( Perera and Abeygunasekera, 2022 ). However, a lack of security auditing or non-completeness auditing will lead to challenges to privacy leakage, data security storage, and data effective sharing ( Chenli et al., 2022 ; Brebu et al., 2022 ). Therefore, making blockchain can be safely traced is a great way to link Suppliers and customers, introducing an Auditor into the traceability system will enhance the credibility of traceability results.…”
