Cross-Chain Identity Authentication Method Based on Relay Chain



The cross-chain identity authentication method based on relay chains provides a promising solution to the issues brought by the centralized notary mechanism. Nonetheless, it continues to encounter numerous challenges regarding data privacy, security, and issues of heterogeneity. For example, there is a concern regarding the protection of identity information during the cross-chain authentication process, and the incompatibility of cryptographic components across different blockchains during cross-chain transactions.

We design and propose a cross-chain identity privacy protection method based on relay chains to address these issues. In this method, the decentralized nature of relay chains ensures that the cross-chain authentication process is not subject to subjective manipulation, guaranteeing the authenticity and reliability of the data. Regarding the compatibility issue, we unify the user keys according to the identity manager organization, storing them on the relay chain and eliminating the need for users to configure identical key systems. Additionally, to comply with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) principles, we store the user keys from the relay chain in distributed servers using the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). To address privacy concerns, we enable pseudonym updates based on the user’s public key during cross-chain transactions.

This method ensures full compatibility while protecting user privacy. Moreover, we introduce Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) technology, ensuring that audit nodes cannot trace the user’s identity information with malicious intent. Our method offers compatibility while ensuring unlinkability and anonymity through thorough security analysis. More importantly, comparative analysis and experimental results show that our proposed method achieves lower computational cost, reduced storage cost, lower latency, and higher throughput. Therefore, our method demonstrates superior security and performance in cross-chain privacy protection.

In this paper, we proposed a privacy-preserving, complete cross-chain authentication scheme tailored for consortium blockchains. Our approach ensures full compatibility, conditional anonymity, and unlinkability while resisting common attacks. We introduced Paillier homomorphic encryption, pseudonymization techniques, and user-generated non-malice audit Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to preserve the conditional anonymity of user identities. 

Users can generate new key pairs and sign transactions with their existing cryptographic systems while their pseudonyms are updated in accordance with their public keys, achieving unlinkability through pseudonym updates. We efficiently manage data with Content Identifiers (CIDs) stored in IPFS, retaining only the CID and Zero-Knowledge Proofs on the blockchain, thus reducing storage burden. During cross-chain authentication, cryptographic configurations of parallel chains are stored on the relay chain, and transaction signatures are verified using the cryptographic systems of the source blockchain, ensuring full compatibility across chains.

 How Network Polarization Shapes Our Politics! Network polarization amplifies political divisions by clustering like-minded individuals into echo chambers, where opposing views are rarely encountered. This reinforces biases, reduces dialogue, and deepens ideological rifts. Social media algorithms further intensify this divide, shaping public opinion and influencing political behavior in increasingly polarized and fragmented societies. Network polarization refers to the phenomenon where social networks—both offline and online—become ideologically homogenous, clustering individuals with similar political beliefs together. This segregation leads to the formation of echo chambers , where people are primarily exposed to information that reinforces their existing views and are shielded from opposing perspectives. In political contexts, such polarization has profound consequences: Reinforcement of Biases : When individuals only interact with like-minded peers, their existing beliefs bec...

Quantum Network Nodes

An operating system for executing applications on quantum network nodes The goal of future quantum networks is to enable new internet applications that are impossible to achieve using only classical communication . Up to now, demonstrations of quantum network applications  and functionalities   on quantum processors have been performed in ad hoc software that was specific to the experimental setup, programmed to perform one single task (the application experiment) directly into low-level control devices using expertise in experimental physics.  Here we report on the design and implementation of an architecture capable of executing quantum network applications on quantum processors in platform-independent high-level software. We demonstrate the capability of the architecture to execute applications in high-level software by implementing it as a quantum network operating system-QNodeOS-and executing test programs, including a delegated computation from a client to a server ...

Global Lighthouse Network

Smart, sustainable manufacturing: 3 lessons from the Global Lighthouse Network Launched in 2018, when more than 70% of factories struggled to scale digital transformation beyond isolated pilots, the Global Lighthouse Network set out to identify the world’s most advanced production sites and create a shared learning journey to up-level the global manufacturing community. In the past seven years, the network has grown from 16 to 201 industrial sites in more than 30 countries and 35 sectors, including the latest cohort of 13 new sites. This growing community of organizations is setting new standards for operational excellence, leveraging advanced technologies to drive growth, productivity, resilience and environmental sustainability. But what exactly is a Global Lighthouse and what has the network achieved? What is the Global Lighthouse Network? The Global Lighthouse Network is a community of operational facilities and value chains that harness digital technologies at scale to ac...
