Abstract

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has been widely studied, which dramatically enhanced the manufacturing efficiency and service elasticity. However, how to ensure the data confidentiality and security in the event-driven publish/subscribe communication model becomes a cumbersome problem. To address this concern, ring signatures have been researched deeply. Nevertheless, existing solutions have large computational burdens and neglect to incorporate reporting and tracing features, which makes it impractical for IIoT. In this way, research focus on designing an efficient report and traceable ring signature is still far-reaching. In this article, we propose RAT ring, a novel report and traceable ring…
