Blockchain-based Solution for Securing Job Card Data Integrity and Payment System using Bi-Quad Merkle Tree
Keywords:
Blockchain, Merkle Tree, DES, RSAAbstract
Numerous individuals use cloud - based applications to store and analyse data for a variety of purposes. Because of the untrustworthy verification procedure of data integrity, the user that uploads information to a public cloud has less security. Data authentication, in particular, is critical in storing outsourced digital material and protecting it from tampering by internal or external enemies. The scheme must be equipped with cryptographic algorithms to encrypt data in order to offer privacy features like information confidentiality and authentication. This research provides a blockchain-based secured data management and trusted payment submission framework for the end users. This paper proposed a new form of merkle tree with the name Bi-Quad merkle tree with Moulded RSA and DES (MRDES) encryption algorithm. The proposed model reduces the computation overhead and time complexity of the transactions management process. The proposed model generates a block, which depends on its spatial and temporal information instead of number of transactions per block threshold. This concept helps the concern to localize the tampered or modified block easily. The data integrity is effectively achieved by the Moulded RSA and DES (MRDES) encryption algorithm. The performance of this proposed blockchain scheme is analgised with the help job card details and the results shows that the proposed scheme is significantly better in terms of latency, computation overhead. The proposed merkle tree generations verification time is compared to the traditional merkle tree based blockchain scheme.
