Logistics tracking method based on block chain

Abstract

The invention discloses a logistics tracking method based on a block chain. The method comprises steps that a user sending node uploads parcel information to a main node; the main node generates a digital fingerprint for the parcel information uploaded by the user sending node, writes the digital fingerprint and a corresponding time stamp into a block chain, broadcasts the block chain in all nodes; each logistics node generates parcel state information successively according to the digital fingerprint, the node information of the logistics node and the node information of a next logistics node in accordance with a parcel physical space transfer path; a corresponding user receiving node signs for the parcel, generates parcel receiving information and uploads the parcel receiving information to the main node in order for the main node to write the parcel receiving information into the block chain. The logistics tracking method applies the block chain technology to the logistics field, guarantees the traceability of the authenticity and the state of logistics information by using the unchangeable characteristic of the block chain, saves the logistics information and update state information fast and efficiently according to the characteristic of a private chain in order to satisfy a requirement for logistics instantaneity.
