  • Publication number: 20200059369
    Abstract: An example for determining consensus by Parallel Proof of Voting (PPoV) in a consortium blockchain includes causing each bookkeeping node to generate and publish a block to a consortium blockchain network. After collecting all the block generated in the previous step, the consortium node votes send a total voting message (the hash value of each block, as well as the agreed opinion and signature) to the leader node. The leader node counts the voting results and random selects the next leader node, which publishes the block group header to the consortium blockchain network. When a blockchain node receives the block generated by the bookkeeping nodes and the block group header generated by the leader node, it will store them in the database as a block group.

  • Publication number: 20160274972
    Abstract: An MDS erasure code capable of repairing multiple node failures, being a C(k, r, p) code which stores original information data blocks and parity data blocks by constructing a (p?l)*(k+r) matrix, in which, p is a prime larger than both k and r, k is an arbitrary integer between 2 and p, and r is smaller than or equal to 5. Both an addition operation and a subtraction operation of the C(k, r, p) code are substituted by an XOR operation. An original data block is split into k columns of the original information data blocks with each column containing p?l bits. r columns of the parity data blocks that are linearly independent from one another are generated from the k columns of the original information data blocks. After being changed, the original information data blocks and the parity data blocks are linearly independent.
