Anti-replay device based on memory space interchange

1. A computer-implemented method for detecting and disabling replay attacks, the method comprising:

receiving a transaction to be completed in a blockchain;

determining a current working section of a memory storing transaction information that is designated for use in identifying past transactions already processed, the memory also storing a backup section providing, when used in combination with the current working section, an alternating memory section storage scheme for the transaction information;

determining, from the current working section, whether the transaction has previously been processed; and

in response to determining that the transaction has not previously been processed:

determining whether a threshold condition is met for initiating a switch-over between the current working section and the backup section, wherein the threshold condition comprises an indication that a misjudgment rate of the current working section is greater than a pre-determined rate;

in response to determining that the threshold condition is met, initiating the switch-over including starting an overlapping period in which additional transaction information is written to the current working section and to the backup section;

processing the transaction; and

writing particular transaction information for the transaction into the current working section.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that an end of the overlapping period has been reached;

ceasing the writing of the transaction information to the current working section; and

designating the backup section as the current working section.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the threshold condition comprises an additional indication that a pre-determined percentage of storage capacity of the current working section has been used.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining if the transaction is in the blockchain; and

upon determining that the transaction is in the blockchain, bypassing the transaction.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

prior to determining whether the transaction has previously been processed, determining, using a Bloom filter, a probability that the transaction has previously been processed.

6. A computer-implemented system, comprising:

one or more computers; and

one or more computer memory devices interoperably coupled with the one or more computers and having tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable media storing one or more instructions that, when executed by the one or more computers, perform one or more operations for detecting and disabling replay attacks, the operations comprising:

receiving a transaction to be completed in a blockchain;

determining a current working section of a memory storing transaction information that is designated for use in identifying past transactions already processed, the memory also storing a backup section providing, when used in combination with the current working section, an alternating memory section storage scheme for the transaction information;

determining, from the current working section, whether the transaction has previously been processed; and

in response to determining that the transaction has not previously been processed:

determining whether a threshold condition is met for initiating a switch-over between the current working section and the backup section, wherein the threshold condition comprises an indication that a misjudgment rate of the current working section is greater than a pre-determined rate;

in response to determining that the threshold condition is met, initiating the switch-over including starting an overlapping period in which additional transaction information is written to the current working section and to the backup section;

processing the transaction; and

writing particular transaction information for the transaction into the current working section.

7. The system of claim 6 , the operations further comprising:

determining that an end of the overlapping period has been reached;

ceasing the writing of the transaction information to the current working section; and

designating the backup section as the current working section.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the threshold condition comprises an additional indication that a pre-determined percentage of storage capacity of the current working section has been used.

9. The system of claim 6 , the operations further comprising:

determining if the transaction is in the blockchain; and

upon determining that the transaction is in the blockchain, bypassing the transaction.

10. The system of claim 6 , the operations further comprising:

prior to determining whether the transaction has previously been processed, determining, using a Bloom filter, a probability that the transaction has previously been processed.

11. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations for detecting and disabling replay attacks, the operations comprising:

receiving a transaction to be completed in a blockchain;

determining a current working section of a memory storing transaction information that is designated for use in identifying past transactions already processed, the memory also storing a backup section providing, when used in combination with the current working section, an alternating memory section storage scheme for the transaction information;

determining, from the current working section, whether the transaction has previously been processed; and

in response to determining that the transaction has not previously been processed:

determining whether a threshold condition is met for initiating a switch-over between the current working section and the backup section, wherein the threshold condition comprises an indication that a misjudgment rate of the current working section is greater than a pre-determined rate;

in response to determining that the threshold condition is met, initiating the switch-over including starting an overlapping period in which additional transaction information is written to the current working section and to the backup section;

processing the transaction; and

writing particular transaction information for the transaction into the current working section.

12. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , the operations further comprising:

determining that an end of the overlapping period has been reached;

ceasing the writing of the transaction information to the current working section; and

designating the backup section as the current working section.

13. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the threshold condition comprises an additional indication that a pre-determined percentage of storage capacity of the current working section has been used.

14. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , the operations further comprising:

determining if the transaction is in the blockchain; and

upon determining that the transaction is in the blockchain, bypassing the transaction.

15. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , the operations further comprising:

prior to determining whether the transaction has previously been processed, determining, using a Bloom filter, a probability that the transaction has previously been processed.
