Reports on Information and Data Encoding and Encryption from Xi’an University of Technology Provide New Insights (Non-repudiation Storage and Access Control Scheme of Insurance Data Based On Blockchain In Ipfs)

2020 SEP 30 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Information Technology Daily -- Current study results on Information Technology - Information and Data Encoding and Encryption have been published. According to news reporting from Xi’an, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “The insurance business plays a quite significant role in people’s lives, but in the process of claim settlement, there are still various frauds such that the insurance companies’ refusal to compensate or customers’ malicious fraud to obtain compensation. Therefore, it is very important to ensure fair and just claims.”

Funders for this research include National Natural Science Youth Foundation of China, National Natural Science Foundation of China.

The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the Xi’an University of Technology, “In this paper, by combining the blockchain technology and the ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption system, we build a scheme for secure storage and update for insurance records under the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) storage environment in the insurance system. In this scheme, we use the fog node to outsource encryption of insurance records to improve the efficiency of the staff; In addition, we store encrypted insurance records on IPFS to ensure the security of the storage platform and avoid the single point failure of the centralized mechanism. In addition, we use the immutability of the blockchain to achieve the non-repudiation of both insurance companies and the client. The security proof shows that the proposed scheme can achieve selective security against selected keyword attacks.”

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “Our scheme is efficient and feasible under performance analysis and real data set experiments.”
