Alphanu Platform Is Using Blockchain Technology for Access Control

Alphanu is a powerful platform that allows traders to trade on the cloud around the clock using complex algorithms. Therefore, alphanu naturally becomes the target of attackers. Whether it is related to our expensive processing data or sensitive customer information and intellectual property rights, we intend to ensure that our security system is not only robust, but also evolving, can stand the test of the future, and can even handle the most difficult scenarios.

To this end, we contacted friends of the Kelvin wallet team and became dedicated developers in our team to help install top-level security solutions, such as quantum security mechanism. Kelvin wallet first appeared in 2008. At that time, graduate student Professor Chen Mingyang and two other students established a fast crypto lab cryptography laboratory at National Taiwan University. Professor Chen just graduated from Harvard University the year before last and returned to Taiwan National University. In the next decade, FCL cryptography laboratory trained more than 50 cryptologists. These experts have been transferred to well-known Silicon Valley companies such as Google, Facebook, Intel and Twitter to continue the development of cryptography. Their skills have been tested in protecting hundreds of thousands of key information systems.

FCL laboratory team has made many achievements in the field of cryptography; Engaged in post quantum cryptography research. They have submitted multiple anti quantum cryptography systems to round-2 selection of NIST post quantum algorithm https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/post -quantum-cryptography/round-2 The laboratory has also published hundreds of cryptographic academic papers, such as Issac, Asia crypto, etc. The goal of FCL laboratory is to use technology to protect the security of information systems and continue to create a fast and secure cryptographic system.Ming Yang saw an undefined quantum encryption hardware wallet market, so he left FCL laboratory to create Kelvin wallet, and launched the first quantum encryption wallet in 2019. It has powerful security authentication, anti quantum power, key exchange technology and universal standard eal 5 authentication security chip. Subsequently, in addition to his work on hardware wallet in Kelvin wallet, he also joined the alphanu team to provide us with valuable security insight and development help to protect our system from malware and hackers.At alphanu, we know the areas of interest for hackers:

1. The historical transaction data we provide to developers is not only rare, but also can be monetized and resold in the open market, so as to encourage data mining and malicious activities on our platform rather than algorithm development. In order to prevent this from happening, we will encrypt and store the data in the system, in which the data analysis and anti test can only be performed in a closed environment.

2. Traders can continue to be developers of our platform through the algorithms subscribed by our platform. This is necessary to ensure a subscription based sustainability model and motivate developers to create successful and powerful algorithms on alphanu. Therefore, protecting the developer's IP and its algorithm is the top priority of alphanu. We have done so that even alphanu cannot access the developer's algorithm without the developer's authorization. In order to enable traders to execute transactions using these algorithms without being able to see the source code, we have created a secure cloud environment in which traders cannot view the code, and external attackers will bypass multi-layer extremely secure algorithms. These algorithms will trade directly with the securities companies we connect with at the fastest trading speed.

3. As we are a cross-border market product, mainly connecting traders from the Asian market and exchanges with U.S. developers, we need to take some key measures to ensure the reliability of transaction and revenue data. We work closely with payment processors to ensure a smooth user experience, while creating our own system - blockchain based - to ensure the traceability and reliability of revenue attribution through our platform. This enables us to provide products such as revenue contract mechanism, which enables third parties to obtain partial rights to future revenue from algorithm subscriptions.4. Since alphanu platform is inevitably connected to a third-party exchange for trading, it is necessary for us to protect the interests of traders and consider password security from multiple levels. Our goal is to ensure the security of quantum computers while constantly resisting any modern threats. Our model will include a complete authentication framework, support u2f authentication framework, and enable two factor authentication (2fa). Users will be educated and guided through the security process to ensure good practice and guidance.Hardware level security

In addition to the security of account access, we will also increase the security of hard disk authentication. The login technology developed by Kelvin wallet is currently undergoing compatibility testing. If feasible, it will become the core part of our platform. For historical financial data transmission, we will use quantum proof algorithm to ensure that the security level of key exchange is robust and powerful enough. In terms of database protection, we will fully encrypt the cloud environment where the database is located. No data will be able to be decrypted because users will need our authentication mechanism to unlock authorized materials and data.

Access control using powerful blockchain Technology

Authentication and data encryption on the alphanu platform will always be performed by the public key to ensure that the developer's IP will not be accessed by anyone without authorization, including alphanu. Our system aims to protect developers' data by using decentralized blockchain and PKI (public key infrastructure) technology. Developers will use the Kelvin wallet and the true random number generator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_random_number_generator Generate a set of offline public / private key pairs. This can only be accessed by developers and stored securely in their Kelvin wallets. Only the private key can decrypt and verify the encrypted public key or signature data.

We will use a multi person multi key management system for our public key infrastructure. The process of confirming authorized release will be checked by multiple layers. For example, in the six person signature process, the first initiator signs the relevant document or authorization and passes it to the next person. You can upload only after you have obtained all 6 signatures. Before releasing resources or executing transactions to the initiator, the virtual machine will verify whether it is signed by six people.In terms of internal system security, we will follow the ISO 15408 information management standard and use the second element authenticator and signer hardware to ensure account security.Network security is the basis of any computer system. With the increasing potential consequences and damage of affected systems, we believe in a pre emptive prevention model, rather than the risk of expensive post default rectification. Our cooperation with Kelvin wallet team will certainly push alphanu towards our vision - changing the trading mode and creating a fair competitive environment for all traders.
