Research on Data Security Model of Environmental Monitoring Based on Blockchain

With the rapid development of the social economy, the problem of environmental pollution has been widely concerned. The existing environmental monitoring system adopts a hierarchical centralized management structure, which has some problems, such as data silos and the risk of data falsification. Thus, this paper proposes an environmental monitoring data security model based on the blockchain, which uses the blockchain distributed storage mode to realize the secure sharing of monitoring data and curb the behavior of data forgery. A practical Byzantine fault tolerant mechanism based on credit grouping supervision is adopted to reduce the computation and communication overhead caused by data consensus. Through the cloud chain fusion technology, the encrypted monitoring data is stored on the cloud storage server, and the monitoring data credentials are stored on the blockchain to reduce the storage pressure. And AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) combined with the RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) encryption algorithm to ensure the security of data transmission and storage. Security analysis and experiments demonstrate that our proposed scheme achieves authenticity, integrity, and security for monitored data. In addition, it effectively reduces the computation, communication, and storage overhead of the block nodes.
