【Abstract】Data transmission exists in almost all the Internet-based applications, while few of them consider the property of nonrepudiation as part of data security. If a data transmission scheme is performed without the endorsement of a trusted third party (TTP) or a central server, it is easy to raise disputes while transmitting valuable data, especially digital goods, because a dishonest participant can deny the fact of particular data transmission instance. The above problem can be solved by signing and encrypting. However, digital signature schemes usually assume public key infrastructure (PKI), increasing the burden on certificate management and are not suitable for distributed networks without TTP such as blockchain. To solve the above problems, we propose two new schemes for nonrepudiation data transmission based on blockchain (we call it BNRDT): one for short message transmission and the other for large file transmission. In BNRDT schemes, nonrepudiation evidence of data transmission is generated and stored on the blockchain to satisfy both the properties of nonrepudiation (including nonrepudiation of origin and nonrepudiation of receipt) and data confidentiality. We implement and test the schemes on Hyperledger Fabric. The experimental results show that the proposed schemes can provide appealing performance.
