doi:10.3969/j.issn.1671-1122.2018.09.010

Abstract

Abstract:

As a revolutionary new technology, blockchain technology has received extensive attention and research from the business and academia community. Blockchain has the advantages of transparency, data integrity, anti-tampering, etc. It has important application value in the fields of finance, insurance, government, and military. This paper studies the use of blockchain smart contracts to design a non-centralized, transparent and trusted network mutual aid platform. Based on this, rely on the existing blockchain privacy protection technology, we propose the user privacy protection method of the network mutual aid platform, making the user's identity information confidential to other users.

Key words: blockchain, network mutual aid, smart contract, privacy protection, ring signature
