Achieving a Secure and Traceable High-Definition Multimedia Data Trading Scheme Based on Blockchain

Abstract

The Internet has penetrated into every aspect of life. Large amounts of data are generated by multimedia collection equipment every day. As an asset, data can achieve value circulation through transactions. However, the existing centralized transaction model is not secure enough, has the risk of user privacy leakage, and the protection of data copyright is insufficient. In this paper, in order to solve the transaction security and traceability problems of multimedia data, especially high-definition data such as vector graphics, we implement a transaction scheme STTS without third-party based on blockchain. For high-definition multimedia data, we use zero watermarking combined with oblivious transfer to embed copyright information. A two-stage verification process is then implemented by using group signature and a secret sharing scheme to complete data distribution. Finally, the smart contract is used to complete copyright tracking. We test the performance of our scheme by simulating the real transaction environment in the Internet of Things (IoT) and demonstrate the feasibility of our scheme, which can be applied to large-scale multimedia data trading schemes in the IoT.
