Off-chain storage is utilized to reduce on-chain storage costs, and further enhance the scalability of blockchain technology. For such mechanisms, transaction data of large size is stored in external centralized databases or distributed peer-to-peer storage, instead of blockchain nodes themselves. However, in emerging blockchain application areas, such as healthcare and the Internet of Things (IoT), off-chain data should be located close to the users with the right privileges, yet it is currently challenging to locate data close to such users and limit data transfers accordingly. To meet these challenges, we design a user-centric in-network caching mechanism for off-chain storage (UCINC) with information-centric networking (ICN) approach to regulate the data caching to the off-chain storage in the network where users are located. With UCINC, data is cached at off-chain storage based on location attributes, retrieved through the interest/data ICN paradigm, and users’ access privileges are determined based on their attributes including locations. We furthermore conduct simulation experiments to confirm that the proposed UCINC achieves higher download performance and traffic efficiency, compared with the existing off-chain storage mechanisms.
