    Continued from the previous article. PlatON Privacy-Preserving Computation White Paper | Part 4. Off-Chain Services This article is about the characteristics of applications on the privacy-preserving Computation network. 5 . Applications In this section, we generally describe several applications based on privacy-preserving capabilities. 5.1 Fair Exchange Fair exchange enables a seller and a buyer to exchange data securely. Security means that the buyer pays to the seller if and only if the buyer gets the digital goods. Theoretical result shows that it is impossible to exchange fairly without a trusted third…

    Author : HaolanThe following content is a personal opinion and does not represent investment advice.If you like it, please comment, like and share! Foreword: Recently, there is a habitual “collective no speaking”.whether it is the policy guidance of the domestic blockchain industry, or various transaction pairs have opened a “declining channel”, giving everyone more reasons to reflect on previous wrong decisions . This point of view will combine recent market experience and PlatON’s new white paper outline “Decentralized Privacy-Preserving AI Networ 2.0” to elaborate on the three content directions of…

    Continued from the previous article. PlatON Privacy-Preserving Computation White Paper | Part 2. Algorithms Before reading this article, let’s review the Overall Framework of Privacy-preserving Computation. This article will introduce On-Chain Capabilities, including Privacy Payment, Privacy Computation, and Storage. Part.3 On-Chain Capabilities Privacy and storage are two important issues in blockchain. LatticeX Foundation focuses on the following aspects. 3.1 Privacy Payment transaction and smart contract are two basic components of blockchain. The privacy requirements and underlying solutions are different. 3.1.1 Payment It is worth pointing out that the main tokens in…

  • PlatON Tech-Column | A Panorama of PlatON Testing: Initialization and Start-up

    Before we talk about the PlatON testing, we need to figure out the difference between blockchain testing and traditional Internet testing. That is mainly reflected in the blurring of the system boundary: the former is not only between the front-end API and a certain blockchain node but also among a large number of blockchain nodes. At the same time, it should be noted that the PlatON chain includes public chains and private chains that vary from each other in terms of management, user identity, the maximum number of nodes, etc….

  • PlatON Tech-Column | PlatON Automatic Testing (2)

    Automatic testing generally refers to the test method of replacing manual testing with programs or tools. Compared with manual testing, automatic testing plays a great role in ensuring product quality and shortening test time with higher accuracy and better reusability. Here, the idea and the technical practice of PlatON’s automatic testing will be introduced in two parts. Multi-layer Automatic Testing The previous article centered on PlatON network automatic testing, and the peripheral products derived from privacy AI computing network, such as blockchain browser PlatScan and blockchain wallet ATON, we also…

  • Why do we run Lumino?

    What is Lumino? “Lumino” is the term of illumination. In PlatON and Alaya networks, Lumino is a Multi-Party Computation Ceremony, for creating the necessary security parameters of the zero-knowledge proof protocols. As one of the important privacy-preserving computation technologies, zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) allows a prover to convince a verifier that the he knows a secret information without directly disclosing the information itself. As a cryptographic primitive with both privacy protection and authentication capabilities, zero-knowledge proof is widely used in providing payment privacy, authentication privacy, and scalability. Most of ZKP protocols…

  • PlatON Digital Identity (2): A Detailed Look at PlatON DID

    Background of DID As we’ve discussed in the previous article, until the advent of blockchain technology, DIDs did not develop that quickly. The emergence of blockchain has solved the biggest problem of DID. As the blockchain technology is tamper-proof, and with the characteristics of the hash, it enabled the establishment of an identity system that is identification unique, credible, and decentralized. Nowadays, compared with the popular concepts of blockchain technologies such as scaling, cross-chain, and DeFi, DID is not a research hot spot. Up to now, only a few teams…

  • Q&A | All about Lumino, the secure multi-party computation ceremony

    To help community partners and technology enthusiasts better understand the Lumino ceremony, We have prepared a Q&A session on the 60-day secure multi-party computing ceremony. A) ABOUT LUMINO Q1. What is Lumino? PlatON/Alaya will build a decentralized privacy-preserving infrastructure based on Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP). However, in most of the existing high-efficiency ZKP algorithms, system parameters need to be created in a centralized manner, and the centralized third party that creates the parameters can forge the certificate, which will destroy the security of the underlying level of PlatON/Alaya. Lumino is designed…

  • [PlatON Tech-Column]A detailed explanation of the Stateless concept (II)

    Back in 2017, Ethereum opinion leader Vitalik introduced the concept of Stateless clients at The Ethereum developer conference(Devcon), with the intention of solving the problem of growing on-chain data faced by public chains by reducing on-chain state storage. The concept was conceived as an ideal solution for blockchains to get rid of state bloat, and over the past few years, through the continuous in-depth research of Alexey Akhunov and Igor Mandrigin and others, the Stateless concept has become more fruitful. The purpose of this article is to provide a preliminary…
