Abstract
With the rapid development of online aquatic product trading, traditional centralized platforms are facing increasing pressure in terms of data security, privacy protection, and trust. Problems such as tampering with transaction records, weak identity authentication, privacy leakage, and the difficulty of balancing matching efficiency with security limit the further development of these platforms. To address these issues, this paper proposes a blockchain-based identity authentication and access control scheme for online aquatic product trading. The scheme first introduces a dual authentication mechanism that combines a verifiable random function with a Schnorr-based zero-knowledge proof, providing strong decentralized identity verification and resistance to replay attacks. It then designs a dynamic access control strategy based on a multi-dimensional reputation model, which converts user behavior, attributes, and historical transaction performance into a comprehensive trust score used to determine fine-grained access rights. In addition, an AES-PEKS hybrid encryption method is employed to support encrypted keyword search and order matching while protecting the confidentiality of order data. This paper implements a multi-channel architecture for aquatic product trading prototype system on Hyperledger Fabric. This system separates registration, order processing, and reputation management into different channels to improve concurrency and enhance privacy protection. Security analysis shows that the proposed solution effectively defends against replay attacks, key leaks, data tampering, and privacy theft. Performance evaluation further demonstrates that, compared to a single-chain architecture, the multi-channel design, while increasing security mechanisms, maintains a stable throughput of approximately 223 tx/s even when concurrency reaches 600–800 tx/s, ensuring normal operation of the trading system. These results indicate that this solution provides a practical technical approach and system-level reference for building secure, reliable, and efficient online aquatic product trading platforms.
