Abstract

Abstract : Aiming at the privacy protection of lightweight nodes based on Bloom filters in blockchain, this paper proposes a new privacy protection method. Considering the superimposition effect of query information, node and Bloom filter are regarded as the two parties of the game. A privacy protection mechanism based on the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium is proposed to judge the information query. On this basis, a Bloom filter privacy protection algorithm is proposed when the probability of information query and privacy, not being leaked, is less than the node privacy protection. It is based on variable factor disturbance, adjusting the number of bits' set to 1 in the Bloom filter to improve the privacy protection performance in different scenarios. The experiment uses Bitcoin transaction data from 2009 to 2019 as the test data to verify the effectiveness, reliability, and superiority of the method.
