Abstract
En 中文
Industrial trademark examination enables users to apply for and manage their trademarks efficiently, promoting industrial and commercial economic development. However, there still exist many challenges, e.g., how to customize a blockchain-based crowdsourcing method for interactive trust evaluation, how to decentralize the functionalities of a centralized entity to nodes in a blockchain network instead of removing the entity directly, how to design a protocol for the method and prove its security, etc. In order to overcome these challenges, in this paper, we propose the Blockchain-based Crowdsourcing Interactive Trust Evaluation (Block-CITE for short) method to improve the efficiency and security of the current industrial trademark management schemes. Specifically, Block-CITE adopts a dual-blockchain structure and a crowdsourcing technique to record operations and store relevant data in a decentralized way. Furthermore, Block-CITE customizes a protocol for blockchain-based crowdsourced industrial trademark examination and algorithms of smart contracts to run the protocol automatically. In addition, Block-CITE analyzes the threat model and proves the security of the protocol. Security analysis shows that Block-CITE is able to defend against the malicious entities and attacks in the blockchain network. Experimental analysis shows that Block-CITE has a higher transaction throughput and lower network latency and storage overhead than the baseline methods.
