The security of electronic will notarization systems is increasingly being recognized by countries worldwide. Most existing schemes primarily rely on trusted third parties or blockchain-based time-lock puzzles (TLP) to ensure critical properties. However, these solutions often suffer from trust risks. To address these challenges, we propose a Secure Electronic Notarization Scheme with InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and Blockchain (SENS-IFSB). Specifically, we introduce block-chain smart contracts as the core controller for document time-release encryption to mitigate security risks from third-party over-reliance. To enhance the flexibility of time-release mechanisms, we implement chained-Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) encryption that enables adjustable extension of encryption time limits. Furthermore, we leverage the InterPlanetary File System to store time-lock puzzles and encrypted will contents, effectively alleviating blockchain storage pressure. Finally, we formally prove the security of IFSB in SENS-IFSB based on the hardness assumption of the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP). Our analysis demonstrates that the scheme is IND-CPA secure, with experimental results showing 50% improvement in time-release flexibility and 95% reduction in blockchain storage overhead compared to conventional solutions.

摘要

The security of electronic will notarization systems is increasingly being recognized by countries worldwide. Most existing schemes primarily rely on trusted third parties or blockchain-based time-lock puzzles (TLP) to ensure critical properties. However, these solutions often suffer from trust risks. To address these challenges, we propose a Secure Electronic Notarization Scheme with InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and Blockchain (SENS-IFSB). Specifically, we introduce block-chain smart contracts as the core controller for document time-release encryption to mitigate security risks from third-party over-reliance. To enhance the flexibility of time-release mechanisms, we implement chained-Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) encryption that enables adjustable extension of encryption time limits. Furthermore, we leverage the InterPlanetary File System to store time-lock puzzles and encrypted will contents, effectively alleviating blockchain storage pressure. Finally, we formally prove the security of IFSB in SENS-IFSB based on the hardness assumption of the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP). Our analysis demonstrates that the scheme is IND-CPA secure, with experimental results showing 50% improvement in time-release flexibility and 95% reduction in blockchain storage overhead compared to conventional solutions.
