Blockchain-Based Cloud Resource Allocation Mechanism for Privacy Preservation

EasyChair Preprint 9700

Abstract

In the cloud manufacturing platform, virtualized manufacturing resources are complex to ensure the authenticity and security of transaction data during the transaction process and rely on the unified deployment of cloud manufacturing platform operators (CPOs). This centralized framework is prone to a single point of failure and risks leakage of private data. Because of these problems, combined with the advantages of decentralization and immutability of blockchain, we innovatively explore the application of blockchain technology in cloud manufacturing and propose a blockchain-based cloud manufacturing resource allocation method. Firstly, a blockchain-based decentralized cloud manufacturing trading platform framework is presented. The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) in manufacturing resource/demand release is studied, and the matching mechanism between manufacturing resources and demand is analyzed. Then, a manufacturing resource verification contract and a manufacturing resource transaction contract for cloud manufacturing are designed using smart contracts (SC). The experimental tests in the Remix platform are completed using Solidity. The test results show that the proposed method can provide a safe and reliable guarantee for virtualized manufacturing resource transactions. Finally, the game problem of supply-demand balance between manufacturing resource suppliers (MRS) and demanders (MRDs) under the decentralized architecture is explored, and simulation is carried out on MATLAB R2021b. The simulation results show the manufacturing resource supply and demand. The fair game can reach the Nash equilibrium and has a faster convergence rate than the existing research.
