Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain, the hottest frontier technologies in recent years, are expected to lead the next technological revolution. Blockchain promises to solve the current challenges encountered by the IoT. However, most of the proposed blockchain-based IoT architectures, which are based on discrete logarithm or large integer factorization problems, are susceptible to quantum attacks. Several quantum-resistant blockchain schemes have recently been proposed. However, the efficiency of their construction or the equipment required is not satisfactory. In this paper, to construct a more efficient postquantum blockchain infrastructure, we propose blockchain architecture for the IoT over the NTRU lattice and provide a cryptographic security proof of the scheme. Attributed to the more efficient underlying lattice structure, our scheme has excellent performance when compared to the existing quantum-resistant blockchain scheme, and we reduce the transaction size from hundreds of megabytes to several kilobytes. To further improve the blockchain’s performance, we present the general framework of segregated witnesses and aggregate signatures over the NTRU lattice. Our scheme promises a blockchain solution for resource-constrained environments.
