Abstract
Privacy-preserving for data is one of the crucial responsibilities of service providers. For the web hosting service, customers’ information and source codes of websites are considered sensitive data that need to protect. The solution decentralized for web hosting is a new technology trend, provides an effective mechanism for storing and accessing websites. This paper addresses some problems related to privacy concerns of the decentralized web hosting service. Based on the blockchain technology, cryptography, and interplanetary file system (IPFS) platform, we propose a protocol for web hosting that provides three features. The first one ensures anonymity for information of customers. The second feature provides confidentiality and authentication for transmitting source codes of websites between customers and the service provider (SP). And the last one is responsible for securing the source code of websites from other nodes on the public IPFS network. The experiments demonstrate that the proposed solution efficiently protects privacy for the decentralized web hosting service.
