Research and modeling electronic data tracing scheme based on blockchain

Abstract

From the point of view that the traditional electronic data (documents in image, PDF, etc) is difficult to track and trace, taking image copyright as an example, this paper studies a new scheme to solve the problem of replication detection and traceability based on blockchain. With the decentralization and trust removing of blockchain, both copyright storage and evidence of infringement are stored in a tamper proof and transparent way. Based on the judgment of image similarity, a "resource reverse tracing strategy" is designed to control the infringement timely. The infringement evidence can reach the creator quickly, which provides convenience for the creator's rights protection. This method changes traditional tracing methods of image copyright. Also, it can be applied to the tracing problem of reuse of electronic invoice, short video, music, etc, and brings new ideas for the related problem.
