Abstract:
As the next-generation internet paradigm, Web 3.0 aims to build a free, equal and decentralized Internet. Different from the data monopoly of the Internet oligarchy in Web 2.0, users in Web 3.0 are fairly endowed with the right to store, share, access and manage data. However, as data leakage, tampering and loss may result in a forfeiture of users’ data control, the security of data storage has become a key and essential prerequisite to safeguard users’ data rights. Blockchain has gained widespread acknowledgment as a prospective technology for solving data security. Nonetheless, its primary suitability for large-scale datasets is limited, owing to the substantial communication and storage overheads. Fortunately, a distributed data storage network (DDSN) can compensate for accommodating large-scale datasets by providing sizeable and inexpensive storage space. In this article, we first summarize the data storage advantages of blockchain and DDSN, and analyze their security challenges in terms of access control, authenticity and confidentiality. To address these challenges, we propose a general and versatile data security storage framework, where we adopt ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) to enable user-centric fine-grained access control and decentralized authorization. Furthermore, to reduce storage costs while protecting data authenticity, we propose a ciphertext split storage model for CP-ABE. In this model, the CP-ABE ciphertext is divided into the attribute component and the data component based on functional structure to realize on-chain/off-chain split storage. In addition, by embedding the ambiguity factor required for decryption and the attributes in the access policy into the index, we design an efficient attribute-based keyword search mechanism to resolve the conflict between confidentiality and availability caused by encryption. Finally, we demonstrate the effective performance of the proposed framework through numerical results. IEEE
