Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for blockchain-based infringement evidence storage are provided. One of the methods include: obtaining a request for collecting evidence of infringement by an online resource, wherein the request comprises an address of the online resource; obtaining the evidence of infringement from the address of the online resource; storing verification information of the evidence of infringement on a blockchain; and storing the evidence of infringement in a cloud storage space.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for blockchain-based evidence storage, comprising:
obtaining, from a computing device of a requester, a request for collecting evidence of infringement by an online resource, wherein the request comprises an address of the online resource;
obtaining the evidence of infringement from the address of the online resource;
generating verification information of the evidence of infringement by encrypting the evidence of infringement using an encryption algorithm to obtain a digest of the evidence of infringement;
storing the verification information of the evidence of infringement in a block on a blockchain;
storing a packaged file comprising the evidence of infringement in a cloud storage space and obtaining an access address of the packaged file in the cloud storage space;
obtaining, from the blockchain, a certificate of trusted evidence for the evidence of infringement, the certificate comprising the address of the online resource and an address of the block on the blockchain storing the verification information; and
sending, to the computing device of the requester, the verification information, the packaged file, the access address of the packaged file, and the certificate of trusted evidence.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining the evidence of infringement from the address of the online resource comprises:
creating, based on the request for collecting evidence of infringement, an infringement evidence collection task, the infringement evidence collection task comprising the evidence of infringement from the address of the online resource; and
executing the infringement evidence collection task in a trusted environment.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the certificate of trusted evidence further comprises identity information of the requester.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the evidence of infringement comprises:
a routing process associated with the address of the online resource;
a responsiveness status associated with the address of the online resource;
content associated with the address of the online resource;
a screenshot image associated with the address of the online resource; or
a video record associated with the address of the online resource.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the verification information of the evidence of infringement comprises:
a signature by a node associated with the blockchain on the digest of the evidence of infringement.

6. A system for blockchain-based evidence storage, comprising a processor and a memory device storing instructions executable by the processor to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
obtaining, from a computing device of a requester, a request for collecting evidence of infringement by an online resource, wherein the request comprises an address of the online resource;
obtaining the evidence of infringement from the address of the online resource;
generating verification information of the evidence of infringement by encrypting the evidence of infringement using an encryption algorithm to obtain a digest of the evidence of infringement;
storing the verification information of the evidence of infringement in a block on a blockchain;
storing a packaged file comprising the evidence of infringement in a cloud storage space and obtaining an access address of the packaged file in the cloud storage space;
obtaining, from the blockchain, a certificate of trusted evidence for the evidence of infringement, the certificate comprising the address of the online resource and an address of the block on the blockchain storing the verification information; and
sending, to the computing device of the requester, the verification information, the packaged file, the access address of the packaged file, and the certificate of trusted evidence.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the obtaining the evidence of infringement from the address of the online resource comprises:
creating, based on the request for collecting evidence of infringement, an infringement evidence collection task, the infringement evidence collection task comprising the evidence of infringement from the address of the online resource; and
executing the infringement evidence collection task in a trusted environment.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the certificate of trusted evidence further comprises identity information of the requester.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the evidence of infringement comprises:
a routing process associated with the address of the online resource;
a responsiveness status associated with the address of the online resource;
content associated with the address of the online resource;
a screenshot image associated with the address of the online resource; or
a video record associated with the address of the online resource.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the verification information of the evidence of infringement comprises:
a signature by a node associated with the blockchain on the digest of the evidence of infringement.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for blockchain-based evidence storage, configured with instructions executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
obtaining, from a computing device of a requester, a request for collecting evidence of infringement by an online resource, wherein the request comprises an address of the online resource;
obtaining the evidence of infringement from the address of the online resource;
generating verification information of the evidence of infringement by encrypting the evidence of infringement using an encryption algorithm to obtain a digest of the evidence of infringement;
storing the verification information of the evidence of infringement in a block on a blockchain;
storing a packaged file comprising the evidence of infringement in a cloud storage space and obtaining an access address of the packaged file in the cloud storage space;
obtaining, from the blockchain, a certificate of trusted evidence for the evidence of infringement, the certificate comprising the address of the online resource and an address of the block on the blockchain storing the verification information; and
sending, to the computing device of the requester, the verification information, the packaged file, the access address of the packaged file, and the certificate of trusted evidence.

12. The storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the obtaining the evidence of infringement from the address of the online resource comprises:
creating, based on the request for collecting evidence of infringement, an infringement evidence collection task, the infringement evidence collection task comprising the evidence of infringement from the address of the online resource; and
executing the infringement evidence collection task in a trusted environment.

13. The storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the certificate of trusted evidence further comprises identity information of the requester.

14. The storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the verification information of the evidence of infringement comprises:
a signature by a node associated with the blockchain on the digest of the evidence of infringement.
