Data security sharing in the Jointcloud has always been a difficult problem for researchers. Some cloud data sharing solutions have a series of problems, such as high communication overhead, difficult key management, data tampering, single cloud failure, etc. We propose a data-sharing mechanism based on blockchain and threshold proxy re-encryption to solve the problems listed above. The proxy re-encryption algorithm we adopted is improved based on the Conditional Proxy Broadcast Re-Encryption. By combining the secret sharing scheme to realize trust decentralization. The re-encryption computing is delivered to multiple cloud service providers, which reduces the centralization problem caused by single cloud processing. At the same time, blockchain is used to manage metadata information and data access control rights to solve data loss and tampering problems. Experimental results show that our mechanism achieves low re-encryption computing overhead.
