Abstract

With the continuous growth in the amount of data generated in the edge-cloud environment, security risks in traditional centralized data management platforms have been concerned. Blockchain technology can be applied to guarantee safety and information transparency in data caching and trading processes. Therefore, a blockchain-based secure cost-aware data caching scheme is proposed to optimize the placement and prevent the tampering of cache data. In this scheme, under the constraints of transmission cost, edge cache size, a quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm is used to solve the data cache placement problem with the greatest content caching gain. A blockchain-based secure decentralized data trading model is proposed to solve the trust problem among the buyers, sellers, and agent nodes and increase incentives for users to trade data. A double auction mechanism is used to maximize social welfare. The experimental results reveal that the proposed data caching and trading scheme can reduce the data transmission cost, improve the cache hit ratio, and maximize social welfare.
