Abstract

Blockchain has been proved to be a promising technology for decentralized security data transmission and management, which can be applied to the user authentication framework especially for large company such as State Grid of China. In this paper we demonstrate the implementation of a blockchain based system for user authentication in electric information management system that covers many business and application aspects. The proposed framework first studies the security improvement user authentication by applying the blockchain technology and suggested a three step Consensus Mechanism based on Kafka sort function. Then the implementation of the proposed framework work is described and the features are analyzed. According to the experimental results, the proposed authentication framework for electric company is efficient and effective to improve their overall information security performance.
