Abstract

Many existing blockchain application schemes emphasize block editability to address potential errors. Our secure and effective redactable blockchain scheme requires that on-chain data remain editable while it strictly controls editing permissions. To address these problems, we first propose an edit request control strategy to address the issue of excessive editing in blockchain editing. This strategy uses smart contracts to record the editing status of all nodes and blocks, enabling effective control over related editing requests. We then design a representative node mechanism for large-scale blockchain environments, selecting representative nodes based on a reputation evaluation strategy driven by their editing behavior, which enhances the efficiency of trapdoor recovery under decentralized trapdoor management. Finally, we establish a trusted chameleon-based random number generation mechanism to strictly restrict the editing content handled by representative nodes, achieving fine-grained control over editing permissions. Comparative analysis and experimental results show that the scheme achieves decentralized trapdoor management and block editing while ensuring system security and efficiency. The scheme exhibits higher stability and controllability in complex editing environments.
