Lockular will be at the Web3 Summit in Berlin this week, please say hi to us

In this blog, Chief Scientist Dr Arif Ahmad shares his excitement on Lockular’s LokuBox platform: I'm thrilled to introduce Lockular’s LokuBox platform, a groundbreaking advancement over the traditional file systems used by companies such as Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive. Imagine a filesystem that leverages cutting-edge security and technology to safeguard and manage data like never before. That's what LokuBox brings to the table. The LokuBox platform is blockchain-native, this means the file system is rooted inside the blockchain, underpinned by two patented technologies which dissemble and reassemble the shares, and write an irrefutable point of audit. The blockchain itself generates the audit to the chain. If individual shares are compromised, the data remains secure. You only need a specific threshold of shares to reconstruct and access the file contents, providing an intrinsic and robust defense against DDoS and Ransomware attacks. Moreover, LokuBox incorporates blockchain technology for provenance tracking. Every file disassembly and reassembly event is recorded on the blockchain, creating tamper-proof logs. This ensures data integrity and traceability, making audit trails and forensic analysis a breeze—capabilities unheard of in conventional setups. The benefits of LokuBox are clear: Security Enhancement: It ensures data confidentiality even if individual shares are compromised. Provenance and Integrity: Leveraging blockchain technology offers unprecedented transparency and traceability, crucial for compliance and auditing. LokuBox uniquely combines tamper-proof tracking, resilient storage, and secure cloning, making it a paradigm shift in file storage technology. It meets the demands of modern, secure file management systems, setting a new standard for data security and management. LokuBox is easily mounted as a virtual drive on enterprise servers, desktops, laptops and IoT devices, making it extremely easy to use. Excited to see where this technology takes us next!

We're off to Brussels and looking forward to @Polkadot Decoded this week, please say hello to us.

Welcome Back, Nikita Gugale! We’re thrilled to have Nikita Gugale back in the office after an incredible month at the @AcademyPolkadot in Singapore. During her time at the academy, Nikita honed her skills in cryptography, the Polkadot SDK, and blockchain economics. She also had the opportunity to connect with some amazing peers. The PBA staff were exceptionally supportive and organized various activities, including parties, beach days, and games, to help everyone bond and unwind. Nikita showcased Lockular’s capabilities at the academy, explaining why we chose @Polkadot as the optimal blockchain for securing data provenance in supply chains. Her highlights included engaging in lively debates on blockchain governance, witnessing Polkadot and Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood present his JAM Gray Paper, and meeting Gavin in person! Welcome back, Nikita! We’re excited to see how you’ll apply your new insights and experiences at @lockular . #Blockchain #Polkadot #Cryptography #SupplyChain #DataProvenance #BlockchainAcademy #Networking #ProfessionalDevelopment

Lockular's Nikita Gugale was thrilled to meet @Polkadot creator and blockchain legend Gavin Wood at the @AcademyPolkadot

as the Polkadot Blockchain Academy nears conclusion, Nikita Gugale presents how Lockular have used #Polkadot and web3 technology to create a filesystem with immutable provenance in blockchain so that enterprises and individuals are certain their data has not been compromised.

Exciting Update from Lockular’s Nikita Gugale at the @AcademyPolkadot ! As Nikita wraps up Week 1 at the Polkadot Blockchain Academy, we caught up with her to see how it’s going. She shared: “I’m thrilled to have completed the first module! Over four intensive days, we delved deep into essential cryptography and blockchain topics: Addresses: Mastering the use of blockchain addresses. Hashes: Exploring hashing techniques and their applications. Basic & Advanced Signatures: Implementing digital signatures for security. AES Modes: Applying AES encryption in practical scenarios. Exotic Primitives: Investigating unique cryptographic primitives. Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs): Understanding practical uses and advanced concepts. "A huge thanks to the @Polkadot Blockchain Academy team for this enriching and hands-on learning experience. I’m eager to apply these skills to upcoming Lockular blockchain projects!” #Blockchain#Cryptography #Polkadot #LearningJourney #BlockchainAcademy #Cybersecurity

This short video describes Lockular's journey from it's initial focus on GDPR accountability to wider problem of Supply Chain Provenance

Provenance for critical national infrastructure designs

We’re thrilled Lockular’s Nikita Gugale has been accepted on to the Polkadot Academy and will spend the next four weeks at the academy in Singapore along with fellow students from around the world, honing her expertise in Polkadot technology. Lockular chose Polkadot as the foundation for our supply chain provenance solutions because of Polkadot Parachains, which provide flexibility, scaleability, and securely and seamlessly interact with other parachains so they become part of a larger interoperable network while retaining their independence and specialisation. Congratulations Nikita! We’re looking forward to hearing about your experiences and of course to benefiting from your knowledge in a few weeks’ time. #polkadot #lockular

Lockular's cloud based IDE for secure chip design leverages @Polkadot to immutably track provenance in critical national infrastructure design. We aim to showcase our solution @PolkadotDecoded. Don't miss the insights from @Arm Chief Architect on addressing provenance issues as discussed in April 2024 @CommonsSITC.

We hope to talk at @PolkadotDecoded about how we use @Polkadot to provide supply chain design provenance for the @Codasip RISC-V toolchain, and in particular speaking to the issues as described from 20 mins, 58 secs into this UK parliamentary discussion: youtube.com/watch?v=m3yIT4VW…

We are hoping to talk at @PolkadotDecoded about Securing Critical Infrastructure Designs with particular reference to the Silicon Chip Use Case discussed here lockular.com/index.html#

#ConnectedNorth is starting next week- We're exhibiting, join us! Don't miss your chance to connect with key decision-makers and drive growth in the UK's digital economy. Register today: i.snoball.it/p/J2d2/t/4
