【Abstract】With the rapid development of information technology, logistics systems are developing towards intelligence. The Internet of Things (IoT) devices throughout the logistics network could provide strong support for smart logistics. However, due to the limited computing and storage resources of IoT devices, logistics data with user sensitive information are generally stored in a centralized cloud center, which could easily cause privacy leakage. In this paper, we propose Logisticschain, a blockchain-based secure storage scheme for logistics data. In this scheme, the sensing data from IoT devices should be encrypted for fine-grained access control, and a customized blockchain structure is proposed to improve the storage efficiency of systems. Also, an efficient consensus mechanism is introduced to improve the efficiency of the consensus process in the blockchain. Specific to the logistics process, the sensing data generated from IoT devices will be encrypted and aggregated into the blockchain to ensure data security. Moreover, the stored logistics records can be securely audited by leveraging the blockchain network; both IoT data and logistics demands cannot be deleted or tampered to avoid disputes. Finally, we analyze the security and privacy properties of our Logisticschain and evaluate its performance in terms of computational costs by developing an experimental platform.
