Abstract
Smart home data management systems are starting to be put into use in many smart home companies. To protect the private data of users in these smart home data management systems, the paper proposes Smart Home Guard, a blockchain-based system for recording smart home data operations, which creates smart contracts deployed on the Ethereum private blockchain based on Solidity. Users can customize data access policies, authorize and monitor queries on private data. By taking advantage of the immutability of the blockchain, the query records of user data are monitored and traced back to prevent user data from being stolen or maliciously tampered with. Smart Home Guard is designed to help regulators track the use of smart home data. At the same time, it allows arbitrators to verify the authenticity of evidence in the event of a privacy breach dispute.
