Blockchain-based cross-domain authorization system for user-centric resource sharing

User-centric data sharing is essential to encourage citizens'active participation in the digital economy.One key to smart cities,a form of the digital economy,is the promotion of public use of citizen data.Nevertheless,it is not easy to utilize data without citizens'consent.In this study,we took a technological approach to these issues.User-managed access(UMA)is a well-known framework for delegating resource access rights to others on the Internet.In UMA,authorization mechanisms are designed to be centralized so that resource owners can centrally manage access rights for various resources stored in different domains.However,the lack of transparency in the autho-rization mechanism is a barrier to its implementation in large-scale systems such as smart cities.In this study,we developed a blockchain-based cross-domain authorization architecture that enables a resource-sharing ecosystem in which organizations that wish to utilize data can freely trade with each other.The proposed architecture solves the transparency problem that conventional authorization systems have had by designing the authorization mechanism on blockchain technology.We implemented the proposed architecture as smart contracts and eval-uated its processing performance.The resultant time required for delegating access rights and accessing resources was less than 500 ms.Furthermore,we found that the fluctuation in the processing time overhead was small.Based on these results,we concluded that performance degradation with the proposed architecture is minor.
