CDEdit: A Highly Applicable Redactable Blockchain with Controllable Editing Privilege and Diversified Editing Types
share
Redactable blockchains allow modifiers or voting committees with modification privileges to edit the data on the chain. Trapdoor holders in chameleon-based hash redactable blockchains can quickly compute hash collisions for arbitrary data, and without breaking the link of the hash-chain. However, chameleon-based hash redactable blockchain schemes have difficulty solving the problem of multi-level editing requests and competing for modification privileges. In this paper, we propose CDEdit, a highly applicable redactable blockchain with controllable editing privilege and diversified editing types. The proposed scheme increases the cost of invalid or malicious requests by paying the deposit on each edit request. At the same time, the editing privilege is subdivided into request, modification, and verification privileges, and the modification privilege token is distributed efficiently to prevent the abuse of the modification privilege and collusion attacks. We use chameleon hashes with ephemeral trapdoor (CHET) and ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) to implement two editing types of transaction-level and block-level, and present a practical instantiation and security analysis. Finally, the implementation and evaluation show that our scheme only costs low-performance overhead and is suitable for multi-level editing requests and modification privilege competition scenarios.
