Abstract:
Presently, resource-constrained devices in manufacturing Internet of Things (MIoT), such as sensors and radio frequency identification (RFID) devices, collect a large amount of privacy-sensitive data. However, weak passwords and vulnerable encryption capabilities in MIoT have often become loopholes of security risks. To this end, this article proposes a novel secure data-sharing scheme based on the integration of blockchain and fusion of both real and fake data to address the data security requirements of resource-constrained MIoT devices. First, a computing resource collaboration architecture is designed, thereby enabling these devices to interface with multiple devices with full resource to implement flexible resource scheduling. Then, a resource-assistance mechanism is devised through blockchain-based smart contracts by utilizing the idle resources of full nodes to complement the computational tasks launched by resource-constrained nodes. In addition, polygon semantic rules are proposed to improve the security of private data. Subsequently, real data artifacts are generated by data tampering to achieve privacy cover, avoiding the consumption of computing resources in traditional encryption algorithms. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed scheme is verified on a customized candy production line. The experimental results validate that data protection using polygon semantic rules can prevent actual data from being peeped. Moreover, the results also indicate that the proposed method can obtain resource assistance from other nodes through the resource compensation mechanism.
