Abstract

The blockchain is a modern digital ledger that not only records currency transactions, but also records anything of value. Once the transaction is verified and submitted to the blockchain, it is difficult to recover. Therefore, in order to prevent malicious behavior, there should be a mechanism to evaluate the trust between participants before any transaction, which can effectively reduce the malicious behavior of malicious nodes. There are some nodes that provide low-quality services to quickly get rewards, and even malicious nodes may appear to deliberately provide extremely low-quality or invalid services. This paper proposes a blockchain-based trust mechanism for service nodes, which takes into account the privacy and security of the nodes, and is used to evaluate the confidence situation between the task assignment node and the task participating node. Experiments show that the mechanism we proposed can not only improve the service quality of service nodes, but also effectively distinguish high-quality nodes, low-quality nodes and malicious nodes, which provides an effective reference for selecting high-quality and credible service nodes.
