TXO Address Generation for Consortium Blockchain Data Isolation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current blockchain technologies face challenges in efficiently merging and verifying transaction data across different private blockchains without compromising privacy and security, particularly in consortium blockchain environments where trust among participants is limited.
Innovation Solution
A method for generating unique identifiers in addresses and merging transaction data chains using block header hash values to create a logically isolated UTXO transaction data chain within a consortium blockchain, ensuring data isolation and security through consensus-based bookkeeping without sharing actual transaction data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If transaction data chains from multiple private blockchains are merged into a consortium blockchain, then cross-chain transaction capability and network connectivity are improved, but data privacy and security are compromised due to exposure of sensitive transaction information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary verification elements (block header hash values, unique identifiers, transaction outputs) from the complete transaction data, separating these from sensitive private transaction details. This allows verification and merging functionality while maintaining data privacy by not exposing the actual transaction content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification mechanism where bookkeeper nodes verify transaction validity using block header hash values and unique identifiers without accessing sensitive transaction data. This intermediary layer enables cross-chain verification while preserving data privacy through cryptographic proofs rather than direct data exposure.
2Reliability
If complete transaction data is shared across consortium blockchain nodes for verification, then transaction verification accuracy and consensus reliability are improved, but communication overhead and processing time increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential verification elements (block header hash values, unique identifiers, transaction outputs) needed for consensus verification, eliminating the need to transmit and process complete transaction data sets. This extraction approach maintains verification accuracy while dramatically reducing communication overhead and processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial verification by checking only critical elements (block header hash values, unique identifiers) rather than complete transaction data. This partial action approach provides sufficient verification reliability for consensus while minimizing the time and resources required for processing.
3Reliability
If unique identifiers are embedded in all transaction addresses to ensure logical isolation, then data security and privacy protection are improved, but address complexity and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the unique identifier functionality directly into the existing address structure through the TXO model, where transaction outputs inherently contain unique identifiers. This combining approach ensures logical isolation and data security without requiring separate or additional complex address components.
Data Source
AI summary
A chain structure address generation method, a transaction data processing method, an apparatus, and a storage medium. The chain structure address generation method comprises: determining a unique identifier of a first main body; generating an address, the address comprising the type of the address and the unique identifier of the first main body, and the address being used when the first main body participates in transaction, such that a TXO transaction data chain generated by the first main body is logically isolated from TXO transaction data chains generated by other main bodies. The transaction data processing method comprises: merging a TXO transaction data chain generated by a first main body and TXO transaction data chains generated by other member main bodies, which belong to a same consortium blockchain with the first main body, to form TXO transaction data chain of the consortium blockchain.
