摘要

针对现有存储型区块链网络隐蔽通信方案存在含密交易多副本、永久存储的问题，以及现有时间型方案隐藏容量低的问题，提出了一种基于交易构造和转发机制的区块链网络隐蔽通信方法。首先发送方借助交易构造机制创建无效交易，并将秘密信息嵌入其中，再利用交易转发机制向邻居节点发送无效交易，形成隐蔽通信信道模型，使含密交易在节点间传播且不存于区块链账本中，达到信息隐蔽安全传输的目的。实验结果表明，传输容量高于现有方案，单次通信时间减少至2.5 s。

Abstract

Aiming at the problems of multiple copies and permanent storage of the transactions containing secret information in the existing storage-based covert communication schemes in blockchain network

as well as the issue of low hidden capacity of the existing time-based schemes

a covert communication method of blockchain network based on transaction construction and forwarding mechanism was proposed.First

an invalid transaction was created by the sender with the help of the transaction construction mechanism

and the secret information was embedded in it

and then the transaction forwarding mechanism was used to send the invalid transaction to the neighbor nodes to form a covert communication channel model

enabling that the transactions containing secret information were spread between nodes and did not exist in the blockchain ledger

so as to achieve the purpose of information concealment and safe transmission.Experimental results show that the transmission capacity of the proposed method is higher than that of the existing schemes

and the single communication time is reduced to 2.5 s.
