ZT-BDS: A Secure Blockchain-based Zero-trust Data Storage Scheme in 6G Edge IoT


 With the rapid development of 6G communication technology, data security of the Internet of Things (IoT) has become a key challenge. This paper first analyzes the security issues and risks of IoT data storage in 6G, and then constructs a blockchain-based zero-trust data storage scheme (ZT-BDS) in 6G edge IoT to ensure data security. Under this framework, an improved scratch-off puzzle based on Proof of Recoverability (PoR) is firstly constructed to realize distributed IoT data storage, which can reduce resource consumption compared with other existing schemes. Secondly, the accumulator is used to replace the Merkle trees to store IoT data in the blockchain. Since the accumulator can provide not only membership proof, but also non-membership proof, the proposed blockchain-based data storage scheme is more secure. Thirdly, PoW is replaced by an improved PoR scheme as the consensus protocol. On the one hand, PoR can verify the integrity of data, which will further enhance the security of IoT data; on the other hand, the proposed PoR is composed of polynomial commitment, which can reduce bandwidth with the aid of the aggregation function of polynomial commitment. Experimental comparisons show that our scheme has better bandwidth and storage capacity.
