Abstract

This paper is dedicated to investigating the application of blockchain in e-commerce logistics. In the traditional logistics system, the protection mechanism of complete logistics information is not perfect and the privacy of users is leaked. Although access control can ensure the confidentiality of data to some extent, the traditional centralized access control is difficult to adapt to the access control needs of the e-commerce logistics environment. On this basis, a novel access control scheme for logistics data is proposed. It combines the membership in Hyperledger and ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption and ensures the security of the user’s private key with the membership in Hyperledger instead of the traditional key distribution center. Finally, an experimental test and verification results on Hyperledger Fabric show the feasibility of the scheme.
