Abstract

With the development of big data and cloud computing, ensuring authenticity and validity has become paramount issue. This paper introduces a novel verification mechanism, which is based on game theory and smart contracts, to validate the genuineness of results from cloud services given to users. It not only vouches for the veracity of these results but also promotes participation from trustworthy cloud service providers by introducing a strategically designed incentive system. The designed game-theoretical model combined with the execution sequence of the smart contracts acts as a deterrent against deceitful actions by potential malicious service entities. Experimental results prove the effectiveness and feasibility of this method.
