Abstract |
Stealth address prevents public association of a blockchain transaction’s output with a recipient’s wallet address and hides the ac- tual destination address of a transaction. While stealth address provides an effective privacy-enhancing technology for a cryptocurrency network, it requires blockchain nodes to actively monitor all the transactions and compute the purported destination addresses, which restricts its applica- tion for resource-constrained environments like Internet of Things (IoT). In this paper, we propose DKSAP-IoT, a faster dual-key stealth address protocol for blockchain-based IoT systems. DKSAP-IoT utilizes a tech- nique similar to the TLS session resumption to improve the performance and reduce the transaction size at the same time between two commu- nication peers. Our theoretical analysis as well as the extensive experi- ments on an embedded computing platform demonstrate that DKSAP- IoT is able to reduce the computational overhead by at least 50% when compared to the state-of-the-art scheme, thereby paving the way for its application to blockchain-based IoT systems.
