Security and Efficient Data Verification Protocol for Distributed Database based on Zero-knowledge Proof
Han Liu, Yunxu Bai · 2024
Recently, distributed databases have achieved tremendous realistic performances and developed one of the most essentially utilized tools in society communication applications. However, the existing distributed databases often contain users’ sensitive information and are vulnerable to web attackers, which may cause severe privacy issues and economic loss. In this paper, we first attempt to propose a novel protocol to dispose of the potential verification risks in distributed databases. Compared with currently distributed databases, the requester can steal important data without any payment. Therefore, our model faces two primary challenges including guaranteeing the efficiency and security of the distributed databases, the data verification procedure may lead to data leakage. To address the above problems, we utilize zero-knowledge proof to dispose of the data verification issue for the requester. Moreover, a secure and effective proof protocol is established to achieve database responses the privacy data access. From our extensive experimental results, we can conclude that our developed framework can achieve an effective performance with reasonable communication costs.
