Secure and Scalable Decentralized Supply Chain Management Using Ethereum and IPFS Platform

Recently, data integrity for multiagent-based big data environments has been challenging. This paper presents a blockchain-based Merkle DAG structure (M-DAG) for audit data integrity. M-DAG resolves the problem that arises due to the multicopy of a large data volume in a big data environment. It employed Boneh–Lynn–Shacham’s (BSL) signature to verify the integrity of identical multicopy on big data environments. The proposed M-DAG audit mechanism uses a consortium chain algorithm for decentralized traceability and audit to archive reliable data. The evaluation has been carried out for the efficiency of the data integrity audit.

“…As can be seen from the results (Figure 4 and Table 4), both implementations are quite comparable in time with known p2p solutions running on torrent protocols. This is confirmed by performance tests [21,22]. In addition, a test was conducted using a smart contract placed in the public Ethereum test network Ropsten.…”

This paper investigates the problem of distributed storage of electronic documents (both metadata and files) in decentralized blockchain-based b2b systems (DApps). The need to reduce the cost of implementing such systems and the insufficient elaboration of the issue of storing big data in DLT are considered. An approach for building such systems is proposed, which allows optimizing the size of the required storage (by using Erasure coding) and simultaneously providing secure data storage in geographically distributed systems of a company, or within a consortium of companies. The novelty of this solution is that we are the first who combine enterprise DLT with distributed file storage, in which the availability of files is controlled. The results of our experiment demonstrate that the speed of the described DApp is comparable to known b2c torrent projects, and subsequently justify the choice of Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum Enterprise for its use. Obtained test results show that public blockchain networks are not suitable for creating such a b2b system. The proposed system solves the main challenges of distributed data storage by grouping data into clusters and managing them with a load balancer, while preventing data tempering using a blockchain network. The considered DApps storage methodology easily scales horizontally in terms of distributed file storage and can be deployed on cloud computing technologies, while minimizing the required storage space. We compare this approach with known methods of file storage in distributed systems, including central storage, torrents, IPFS, and Storj. The reliability of this approach is calculated and the result is compared to traditional solutions based on full backup.

“…The research community has adopted these data storage platforms with blockchain and proposed solutions in supply chain management, smart agriculture, smart city, etc., to resolve storage issues. For example, Pawar et al [ 65 ] proposed an IPFS-enabled blockchain repository for supply chain management to minimize file upload and download time. Kumar et al [ 66 ] introduced a secured privacy-preserving scheme to maintain scalability using IPFS-based off-chain storage for smart agricultural UAVs data.…”

Mobile applications have rapidly grown over the past few decades to offer futuristic applications, such as autonomous vehicles, smart farming, and smart city. Such applications require ubiquitous, real-time, and secure communications to deliver services quickly. Toward this aim, sixth-generation (6G) wireless technology offers superior performance with high reliability, enhanced transmission rate, and low latency. However, managing the resources of the aforementioned applications is highly complex in the precarious network. An adversary can perform various network-related attacks (i.e., data injection or modification) to jeopardize the regular operation of the smart applications. Therefore, incorporating blockchain technology in the smart application can be a prominent solution to tackle security, reliability, and data-sharing privacy concerns. Motivated by the same, we presented a case study on public safety applications that utilizes the essential characteristics of artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and a 6G network to handle data integrity attacks on the crime data. The case study is assessed using various performance parameters by considering blockchain scalability, packet drop ratio, and training accuracy. Lastly, we explored different research challenges of adopting blockchain in the 6G wireless network.
