【Abstract】With the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and its applications, a large amount of data is gen-erated regularly. If this information is used by malicious attackers, it will be a great disaster for the rel-evant users. In this regard, this article focuses on the user's identity privacy issues involved in the IoT. By protecting the user's identity privacy, the attacker cannot associate the obtained data with the user's real identity, and so achieve the purpose of protecting the user. This article uses the features of blockchain that cannot be tampered with nor forged to strengthen the reliability of the system. The proposed scheme saves the transaction information of user information through the Hyperledger and uses the ring signa-ture method to obscure the real identity. A key generator is used to generate system public parameters and ring membership information required for signature. Users can use this information to hide their identity in a ring group of n users so that other users can only guess the true identity of the user with a probability of 1/n. Additionally, the method of aggregated signature is used to shorten the time and space required fork signature verification to 1/k, which greatly improves the efficiency. Finally, this arti-cle also uses an accountability mechanism to punish some attackers who attempt to waste system resources by revealing the real identity of the attacker and refusing to serve him. In this paper, GO lan-guage is used to write chain code to realize the proposed algorithm, and a prototype system is built through HyperLeger Fabric blockchain network, and the prototype system is verified by experiment. The correctness and efficiency of the above scheme are also proved through theoretical analysis and experiments.(c) 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of King Saud University.
