Abstract
In the Internet of Everything (IoE), due to its issues of complexity and heterogeneity, message delay cannot be guaranteed, and it is not enough to leverage a centralized model for data collaboration. By leveraging the features of blockchain and asynchronous consensus algorithms, a new trust collaboration model can be established in an untrusted environment. Besides, the scalability issue of blockchain poses a challenge to data asynchronous collaboration. In this paper, we propose Asycome, a JointCloud data asynchronous collaboration mechanism based on Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). This mechanism introduces the new Gossip about gossip protocol, driven by message-transmitting events, to keep data synchronized in an asynchronous environment. Through two stages of voting and committing. Transactions on the same time series do not need to reach the final confirmed state before proceeding to the next transaction processing. Over time, all transactions are connected to the DAG, ensuring that the consensus is finally reached. We evaluated the performance of the mechanism with experiments on throughput and latency. And the feasibility of Asycome is analyzed from the liveness and security. The results show that higher throughput, lower latency, and Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (ABFT) characteristics can meet the technical requirements of complex and asynchronous data collaboration of the IoE to some extent.
