【Abstract】Task matching in crowdsourcing is designed to provide convenient task information retrieval and has been extensively explored. In general, the task matching process is required to be reliable and to meet privacy requirements. However, most existing privacy-preserving task matching solutions for crowdsourcing focus on privacy issues but ignore the reliability of the process. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based task matching scheme for crowdsourcing with a secure and reliable matching. Instead of utilizing a centralized cloud server, we employ smart contracts, an emerging blockchain technology, to provide reliable and transparent matching. In this way, data confidentiality and identity anonymity are achieved effectively and efficiently. The extensive privacy analysis and performance evaluation show that our solution is secure and feasible.
