Lockness is alive! 🐉We’re proud to unveil Lockness, a @dfnsHQ-led initiative that brings together state-of-the-art public key protocols, digital signatures and data storage technology under @lfdecentralized, formerly known as the Hyperledger Foundation. 🎯 Lockness is more than just another project—it's a major leap for key management technology. In partnership with the @linuxfoundation, Dfns has created a trusted space to collaborate and advance research and development in open-source public key cryptography. We believe modern cryptography like multi-party computation (MPC) brings tremendous benefits. Our goal is to help companies and institutions around the world adopt these solutions faster.🔒 Although MPC holds great promise, its adoption has been slow due to a lack of trusted standards and industry caution. Lockness aims to change that. By bringing together academic experts, companies, and auditors, we're creating the first trusted and compliant open-source cryptography ecosystem designed to meet the needs and standards of regulated industries like finance.As part of our commitment, we are contributing our technology to the foundation of Lockness. Our research team has spent years developing advanced MPC protocols, designed and reviewed by top cryptographers and engineers, including @jon_katz, @SmartCryptology, @chelseakomlo, Antoine Urban, Denis Varlakov, and Nikita Sorokovikov. Today, this technology is available to everyone.Dfns believes that the future of cryptographic security lies in collaboration and open-source development. By contributing our hard-won breakthroughs to Lockness, we're accelerating the adoption of MPC and driving innovation in industries that need it most. Through our work with the Linux Foundation, Lockness benefits from expert governance and strong legal and compliance support, making it a trusted framework for the financial sector and other key industries using blockchain.We’re inviting the cryptography community to do the same and come together under LF Decentralized Trust: members of the MPC Alliance, wallet infrastructure providers (👋 @FireblocksHQ @BlockdaemonHQ @coinbase), cloud providers (👋 @awscloud @Microsoft @Google @IBM @thalesgroup), cryptographers (👋 @rgennaro67 @sgoldfed @LindellYehuda), financial institutions (👋 @BNYMellon @Citi @ANZ_AU @Fidelity) and auditors (👋 @KPMG @Accenture @Deloitte @HalbornSecurity @KudelskiSec @PwC @EYnews).🌐 While Lockness started with MPC and threshold cryptography, the project is open to all kinds of public key cryptography and data security technology (HSM, TEE, FHE, ZKP, PQC, etc.). More importantly, Lockness is not just a collection of tools; it’s a movement to democratize and standardize secure key management technology. Join us in shaping the future of digital asset security!🔗 To learn more about Lockness and how you can help, read our blog post: https://t.co/S02XzPmq8v
