Redactable Transactions in Consortium Blockchain: Controlled by Multi-authority CP-ABE

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The immutability of blockchain means that data in blockchain cannot be modified once confirmed. It guarantees the reliability and integrity of blockchain. However, absolute immutability is not conducive to timely correction of blockchain. Currently, there are some researches on redactable blockchain. They replaced hash functions with chameleon hash functions or proposed policy-based chameleon hashes, which may lead to the centralization of redaction right or single point of failure. We propose a multi-authority policy-based chameleon hash by combining chameleon-hashes with ephemeral trapdoors and multi-authority attribute-based encryption, and prove its security. Users who satisfy the access policies can perform modification operations while the rest have no permission. In addition, we give a proof-of-concept implementation of a redactable blockchain, building on Hyperledger Fabric source code. It only requires minimal changes to the current transaction structure and hash computation, etc. Our results show that the latency is still in millisecond with 20000 concurrent redactable transactions.
