Hi everybody! Merry Christmas Eve! Welcome to our all-day movie workshop. We've got a beautiful day ahead of us. I'm Peter for those joining you and yeah I can just let you know about the day. So we've got David who'll be joining us from Florida today and he'll be showing, giving the movie commentary this morning and then we'll have a 10 minute break afterwards. That can be a time where you submit your questions via our question form and then we'll have a Q&A session at the end. So I'm going to pass it right over to you now David. Thank you Pete. Hi everyone! Welcome! There we are! Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas everyone! We're gonna have a beautiful movie to dive into the heart of Christ and remember the real true meaning of Christmas is, is basically that you are the gift. Who you are is the Christ and that is the gift to the world. So you are the gift. I remember many years ago I, I did volunteer work and I would go and visit elderly people during the Christmas season and I was part of something in Cincinnati Ohio called the Holiday Project and this and the slogan, the key slogan for the holiday project was you are the gift. So me and all the volunteers we went out to spread our joy and our happiness to people who were elderly and they couldn't get out. So we had so much fun sharing love and joy with everyone and I think that's a beautiful thing to remember during the holiday season that who you are, who your identity is as God created it is the gift. It's not really these packages and trinkets that we, that we often use in our Christmas rituals. It's actually your very being, your very presence of love is the gift and you can offer that anytime, anywhere, any place. Why not have Christmas be 365 days a year? That's what I say. We, we might as well celebrate the birth of ourself as the Christ every moment of every day of every year. So as you know we usually have, we have a set of whole themes that people vote on and then we, we call upon Jesus to give us a movie, select a movie for us so we can have the actual experience of the themes. And here's what you voted for, for this beautiful Christmas Eve Saturday presentation. Coming in at number one. Have no fear of consequences. Isn't that a great way to live? Live every moment of your life without fear of consequences. Who wants to fear a bunch of hypothetical future consequences that don't really exist at all? Why would we live our life based on fear when we have everything that we need and we have everything that we want when we, we simply say, God, I want to, I want to live in happiness. I want to live in joy. I want to live in peace. And that request is granted to us in this moment. And the only thing that prevents us from experiencing that joy and happiness is the beliefs in, in a hypothetical future. And that future is a projection of the past. So when we are afraid of consequences, potential consequences that come could come to us as a body or as a personality, we're just into erroneous thinking. We're just thinking thoughts of nothingness with the ego. And we don't have to hold on to those thoughts of nothingness. We can be free right now. So number one, have no fear of consequences. Number two, let love orchestrate the miracle. In a course in miracles, Jesus tells us that miracles are involuntary and should not be under conscious control. Wow. That sounds to me like let go and let God, God, you lead the way you shine the light. I will but follow whatever guidance you give to me knowing that your guidance is for my happiness. It's for my peace of mind. It's for my joy. So I'm so happy to let the Holy Spirit let love orchestrate the miracle. I have to say that that once I got to a point in my experiences with this world where I just let go of fear of consequences, I said, I'm not going to live by fear anymore.  I'm not I'm not happy trying to prepare for these future consequences based on these past beliefs that I believe were real. So when I really let go into guidance and let the Holy Spirit lead the way and Jesus lead the way, then things got happy real quick. Because because when you let go of trying to control the world, and you let go of even trying to control your body or control the bodies of anyone else, it's such a relief, you know, to just let all things be exactly as they are and enjoy everyone, just accept everyone as they are right now. Don't put any kind of plans on top of them. Don't put any kind of expectations on them. The third theme is being uncompromising in what I really want. I think for most of us, you know, we've had ambitions and we've had future goals. And the only thing about future goals is sometimes they seem to come about and sometimes they don't come about. And even when they don't come about, we don't really have to cling to the belief that we need certain things in this world to be happy. We have everything that we need to be happy right now. Our connection with God is what we we need to be happy. And that's available to us every single moment. There's nothing in the world that can take away our happiness, our peace and joy. The fourth one is let go of investment in the future. That's a pretty big one. You know, most of us have been, you know, raised up and programmed to be very future oriented, you know, I'll be happy when I used to call that my I'll be happy when game. Well, I'll be happy when my bank account has this amount, I'll be happy when I have a relationship that looks a certain way. I'll be happy when I achieve my career goals. I'll be happy when I move to the perfect place. And I don't know about you, but I'm starting to discover there is no perfect place. I woke up in Florida this morning, and it was 27 degrees. It was it was five degrees below freezing in Florida. So that just shows me that you can't count on anything informed to be a certain way. Most of us think of Florida's as beaches, not, not having icicles hanging off of our cars. You know, it's a little different. But see, that just shows you you can't count on anything informed. And we're not, we're not supposed to count on anything informed. We're just supposed to stay present and be happy. And then last coming in in the poll with 33 votes was go all in, give everything to this moment. Wow, that sounds exciting. I don't know about you, but that sounds really exciting. Give everything to this moment. If I could just put my full focus and attention on this moment, and really be fully present with everyone and everything. That sounds like a recipe for happiness. But put put my full attention on the present moment. If somebody asked you what are you plans for tomorrow? Hey, I'm just going all in for this moment. That's a good answer. I'm going all in for God, because God is in this moment. And God is not a God of the past or the future. God is a God of the present moment. And Jesus tells us that in a Course in Miracles, he says, the present moment is the closest approximation of eternity that this world offers. That's all I need. Jesus Christ to tell me that. And I'm all in for the present moment. And you can feel the happiness bubbling in your heart when you realize that if you give your full attention, you're not into hypothetical thinking. And hypothetical thinking is, is thinking about the past in terms of could or would or should have. If any of you ever thought about past scenes and scenarios in your lives with the could or would or should have, I could have done better. I would be happier if I would have done this. I should have done this. And my life would be different. Now, Jesus is laughing. The angels are laughing with all of our could or would or should have hypothetical thoughts of the past. But the only thing that makes the angels and Jesus left even more is our hypotheticals of the future. Because it's, it's like we think that we're hoping things get better in the future. And Jesus is like, Why would you put your hope into the future when you have cause for freedom right now? Right now you are, you can be free, you don't have to figure out the way in the future, you can be free right now if you just surrender over to the Holy Spirit, and to the Holy Spirit's guidance. So those are very exciting, very exciting themes. And during this Christmas season, I'm reminding reminded of a friend of mine one time who told me the story where she went to she went to a metaphysical church.  But really, we would like you to join our master mind class. And she said mastermind. And they said, Yeah, we have a mastermind class that meets every week. And we all gather together, please come, we all sit in a big circle. And she said, Well, what's the mastermind class about? And they said, Well, we, we learn the power of our mind through manifesting. And so we all learn how to manifest. So my friend went to the class, and she sat in a big circle and one by one, everyone in the circle went around and they spoke out loud, what it was that they were going to manifest in front of everybody. But when they came to my friend, and they asked her, what is it that you want to manifest? Her answer, what she told the whole group was everything. And they said, what, no, miss, you don't understand, you don't understand what the group's about. So we'll just take a moment, everybody recenter, let's get re centered here. And let's try this again. So they waited about four or five minutes. And they said, All right, now, please tell us what you want to manifest. And she went everything. That's all she could say. They tried three or four times. And all she could say was everything. And they said, We got to move on. You don't understand what this group is about. Well, I'll tell you what, I read a line from Jesus in A Course in Miracles. And this is what Jesus had to say about everything. This is from chapter 26. Jesus says, What is the will of God? He wills his son have everything. And this he guaranteed when he created him as everything. It is impossible that anything be lost. If what you have is what you are. This is the miracle by which creation became your function, sharing it with God. It is not understood apart from him, and therefore has no meaning in this world. Here does the Son of God ask not too much, but far too little. Oh my gosh. That's what this world is. It's asking for far too little. We have a very powerful mind. We have the power of prayer. And we were created as the Christ as the as a holy child of God with everything. And and when we believe in the ego, we limit our asking to tiny things. We don't really believe that we deserve everything. We believe they were only entitled into just a little bit. And we live our whole lives as if we need to be satisfied with just a little bit. And I remember that from my early years of studying A Course in Miracles, where Jesus I remember that so strongly, he said, You do not ask for too much. You always ask for far too little. And then at one point, Helen Schuchman was taking down a Course in Miracles. And Ken Wapnick was talking to Helen saying, you know, I think I think there's more to this topic of prayer. Maybe you could just ask Jesus if he would he would give us a little more information on what prayer really is. And Jesus delivered what's called the song of prayer. It's called a supplement to A Course in Miracles that goes with the material is called the song of prayer. And in it, Jesus is saying that while you believe in the ego, you limit your prayer, you limit your prayers based on your limiting ego beliefs. And in the end, what Jesus is telling us is that as we learn the power of our mind, and we learn to let go of our limiting beliefs, and our limiting thoughts, then we've come closer to God by removing all the limitations from our prayer life. And finally, we learn how to pray, and just say, God, what is your will for me? In other words, at the beginning, when we feel like we're lacking, and we feel like we're not enough, we can't help but ask for things. We can ask for attributes, we can ask for specific things, we can ask a lot of specific prayers. But in the end, Jesus says, you will learn that the one prayer that you really want to ask of God is not really a question at all. It's just, it's, it's a desire to merge with the will of God and know that God's will for perfect happiness is your own will for perfect happiness as the Christ. So I feel like that's what the message is for all of us on this Christmas Eve is that Jesus is giving us a movie today. And it's about the theme of letting go of limitations and not putting any limits on the prayer of our heart. The movie today is called last holiday. And this movie is starring Queen Latifa.  She's, she's working her job. She's collecting her pay. She's, she's living what we could call a very cautious and conservative and quite limited life because of her belief in unworthiness. She doesn't really believe that she's worth more than what she is holding on to. So she's trying to live a very cautious life. And in the movie, there will be circumstances that will come to her in which she will begin to question her direction in life. Now we've got a lot of great movies in our movie Watchers Guide to Enlightenment. And some of you maybe have seen the one, the movie called The Guitar, which was the movie was made by Robert Redford's daughter. And it's a movie about a woman who feels kind of, kind of trapped and kind of unfulfilled in life. And then she receives a diagnosis when she goes to the doctor of a terminal illness. And this movie we're going to watch today is very similar. Because basically, we find that this woman, Georgia, her name is Georgia Byrd, Georgia has pretty content content with her everyday life. But but she keeps a book, a scrapbook of possibilities. So you might say her scrapbook is her wishful thinking of, wow, if I really could, I wish I could do this and this and that. And those are her hypothetical wishes that she is not brave enough to go for. As we were just talking about the present moment is where we have to really go for it. And the present moment is where we start to realize that there is no such thing as hypotheticals. It's not like you can really imagine something that's different than what's right now. Because what is right now is everything. So what you're experiencing right now is everything that you believe in. How you experience the world and how you experience yourself is a motion picture of what you believe yourself to be right now. And the purpose of the Holy Spirit is to say, why don't you let go of some of these beliefs of who you are right now? Because you're much more than you think you are.  If you could have Jesus and the angels show you even for an instant who you really are, you would be stunned at how magnificent you are.  You would feel a rush of joy at how expansive and unlimited that you really are in your true essence, in your true being. So Georgia, she she lives and works in New Orleans, Southern City in the United States, New Orleans, Louisiana, and her entire life, she has never left Louisiana. Unlike our friend Ricky, who has she's long gone from Louisiana. She's she's been flying the Coupe a long time. But but in this movie, Georgia has never left Louisiana. She goes to church. She's got a church in Louisiana. She works at a department store in Louisiana. She doesn't have a whole lot of friends. She likes to she likes to make gourmet meals, but she doesn't like to eat them. Because she's afraid she'll get fat. So she makes amazing gourmet meals and she eats lean cuisine. She doesn't give herself the gift of even the food that she cooks, she cooks for other people. She sings in the choir, she loves to sing, like Ricky, she loves to sing. And she loves to belt it out and sing for the glory of God.  She's never told this man that she has a crush on him, even though she works in the same department store. She she has she has been saving her money for years. And so she's got savings and she's got some bonds that she has. But she's she's basically not been using her money. She's basically been just saving it up and storing it up. And she's got this growing possibilities book of all the things that she wished she would do with her life that she hasn't done. She just writes them down and she puts, she puts photographs and she puts descriptions. And she writes about the man that she has a crush on at work and the places she would like to visit and the things she would like to do. But she stores them all in her possibility scrapbook. And then we will see in this movie one day she will be diagnosed with a terminal illness. Oftentimes for human beings, this is part of the spiritual awakening process. When people get so accustomed to their world and so accustomed to their limitations, that sometimes it takes a diagnosis of a terminal illness to kind of shake them out of their slumber and help them start to open up to the idea that there's more to life than what they have perceived of themselves. And they're worthy of it. A lot of people who are diagnosed with terminal illness, you know, if they are told they only have three or four weeks to live. Wow, they will do things that they had never really fully given themselves permission to do. I'm thinking we have so many movies in our movie Watchers Guide to Enlightenment and Tom Hanks is starting in some the movie The Guitar is another example. We have we have quite a few movies where the main character is diagnosed with a terminal illness and then it shakes them out of their slumber. It shakes them beyond just having a possibilities book to actually going for it. I think probably my all time favorite movie for this is Joe versus the volcano where Joe, Joe is told he has a brain cloud. And he believes it.  And so suddenly he goes from his very limited little world into miracles, cascading miracles as soon as he opens up to to following the guidance of his heart. Now the good thing is we don't have to wait until we get a diagnosis of of a terminal illness. We can have all those miracles right now, starting right now and extending forever and forever and forever. And all we have to do is is believe that we're worth it. That's the main limit that people have with in terms of miracles is they become so accustomed to these limited definitions, limited beliefs, limited thinking. And if somebody had showed me a motion picture of my life for the last 3035 years, I would have either run the other way in fear or I would have just been in total disbelief and said, you got the wrong person because I've had so many miracles I could not write. I couldn't write 100 books and put all the miracles that was still not be enough books to put all the miracles I've experienced in these last 35 years. But it wasn't because I got a diagnosis that I was going to be dead soon. It was more that I started to feel like there has to be more to life than than what seems to be just the human person going through the days. There has to be much more to life. I remember when I was even in graduate school, I would talk to the other graduate students and they would all have their future plans and goals. And I kept feeling like, I think the only thing I wanted out of life was to never die. Try telling that to your colleagues. What? I said, yeah, I really don't feel like I don't want to taste death. And they said, well, sorry, you know, you're on the wrong planet for that. And I said, no, I think Jesus, I think he found something. I think, I think he was onto something actually. And I really think that he he found that it's impossible to die. So that that'll really free your mind of fear of consequences. When you get into the reality and the actuality that you can never die. And I feel that so so that means that when I go through my life, I can live each moment each day to the fullest. Go travel if I'm feel to travel meet anyone I feel to meet. I'm not worried about time. I've got all the time in the world. I feel like I've got eternity. So it's no problem for me to to have a nice long phone call with somebody or go take a long walk or or spend the day together and lose track of time. I like that. I like losing track of time, having so much joy that you lose track of the passage of time. But I think it comes from this feeling this miraculous feeling you get where you start to feel like you can't die.  So so then you start to live in a very spontaneous and open hearted way. And I think that's what this movie is about. I think that's what Jesus is really going to encourage us today.  And she's afraid to speak up. And I think, like many people, you know, because they're they're afraid of what might happen, they don't really shine their light. They get into people pleasing. They try to please their boss or please their landlord, please their partner, please their family. And at some point, you know, you start to feel like what have I been doing here? What kind of bargain am I making? I want to be a free spirit. I want to be a free spirit who never dies. I want to know my true reality as a spirit that can never die. So we're going to enjoy this movie. Today, I will stop in from time to time, joining you at certain points along the way. Because I think you're going to be able to relate to Georgia and her story. And when I first saw this movie, I was like, cheering her on. Go for it. Don't hold back. Say what you need to say. Speak up whatever you need to speak up to whoever to your boss, to your neighbors, to your, to your church, speak up what you really want to say. If you're in the choir singing and you feel like there's something that the that the congregation needs to hear speak it up. If you think there's something that the minister needs to hear, speak it up. When we speak it up, we realize that that what we teach is what we learn. And when we speak from a place of expansiveness, from a place of unlimited trust, then suddenly the world starts reflecting back our unlimited trust. That's what happened to me. I find that as I began to really trust my intuition, and to trust my guidance, that suddenly the world started to light up. I thought, this is a very bright place when I'm trusting. But when I was doubting, it seemed like a pretty dark place. Whenever I had doubt thoughts, then I seem to draw forth all these reflections of doubt until I just thought I don't want to do that anymore. So sit back, enjoy this beautiful Christmas movie. And let's watch Georgia go and open her heart up and open her life up to miracles. As an example for all of us, what we all want is just to open up to miracles, everyday miracles, lots of them. Okay, I'll see you all very shortly.


The next item of business is consideration of business motion 7455, in the name of George Adam, on behalf of the parliamentary bureau on changes to today's business. I call on George Adam to move the motion. Thank you, Presiding Officer, I'm moved. Thank you. I call on Sandesh Gulhane to speak to and move amendment 7455.2. Today we saw the worst ever eight and 12 hour waits in A&E and in the week ending 18 of December 2022, we saw the worst ever four hour waits. The average number of beds occupied per day due to delayed discharges is also at a record high. Almost every indicator of NHS Scotland's performance has worsened, some to their worst ever level. Hundreds of thousands of Scots are waiting for treatment. This is a national emergency. People are dying unnecessarily. NHS staff are burning out, going above and beyond, but they cannot cope. The crisis in our NHS should be the priority for this Parliament, because it is a priority for the people. In the Cabinet Secretary for Health's own words, this was always going to be the hardest winter the NHS has ever seen. Yet, with the rhetoric, came no action. I have been warning of how bad this winter is going to get, and yet there was no prioritisation by this Government to allocate time to a proper debate in Parliament prior to recess. Today we have a ministerial statement on the NHS being slotted into the parliamentary business timetable at short notice, with not enough time allocated and not enough opportunity to scrutiny by members. The decision to slot this in came at very short notice. What has the Scottish Government given priority to in the midst of the NHS crisis? The first Scottish parliamentary debate of 2023 is not about our treasured NHS but about Scottish independence. This is a disgrace. It is not the priority of the people of Scotland and not a good use of parliamentary time. I therefore bring forward an amendment to scrap this divisive debate and extend the time allocated to the ministerial statement on NHS winter pressures by 40 minutes to allow Members to raise their concerns of their constituents and hold the Cabinet Secretary to account on his failing NHS recovery plan. We will also support and welcome a full debate as Labour's amendment requests. For those voting against these amendments, you are voting to prioritise independence over Scottish people dying unnecessarily. First Minister, the SNP does not seem to care. What we are hearing there is that they are not caring. I move the amendment in my name. I call on Neil Bibby to speak to and move amendment 7455.1. Presiding Officer, today the number of patients waiting more than 12 hours in emergency departments has hit its highest ever level. The head of the doctors union said that the weekend Scotland's hospitals are not safe for patients. In a few weeks nurses will be forced to walk out of hospitals because the Scottish Government is more interested in clapping them than paying them. We are in the midst of a full-blown crisis, which is threatening patient safety and putting people in unbearable circumstances. When the people of Scotland look to their Parliament for a response this afternoon, what will they see? Another debate on a referendum, another exercise in internal party management, another excursion in creative avoidance from the real problems that Scotland faces. This Parliament should reflect the people's priorities, not just the governing parties. It is welcome that the Government has finally now agreed to a statement on the NHS, but there should also be a full debate on the NHS crisis too. We moved a business motion to hold an NHS debate before Christmas instead of the SNP's proposed debate on their general election strategy, and we will do so again today. I therefore move the amendment to the business motion in my name. I wish everyone in the chamber a happy new year. With that said, I will have to move on to something with Mr Gilhane and so much is that I will take no lectures from a member of the Conservative Party about who is caring and who is not when he represents a political party who has proven not to be caring of the people of Scotland over the years. It is bizarre, Presiding Officer, that when the Opposition asked for a statement on health before the new year towards the end of last year, I said that I would bring that back to us, and I have made sure that it is the very first thing that we discussed, because the NHS is and will continue to be a priority of this Government all the time. However, Presiding Officer, I think that I will have to, I am only too happy to talk about the benefits of independence. As I have said before recess, I will never apologise for encouraging this Parliament to debate the people of Scotland's right to choose their own future. Indeed, it is somewhat ironic that the Tories are seeking to deny a democratic debate, which will highlight how the current constitutional settlement is denying democracy in Scotland. Frankly, the cases for the people of Scotland to be given the choice and the chance of a better future is becoming stronger every day. Let me remind you of what I said towards the end of last year that we are living in a country led by the Conservatives and Westminster with inflation running at 10 per cent. Household incomes predicted to fall to 2,014 levels. The economy is in recession. People are facing the horrific choice of choosing between heating and eating this winter. Millions are facing eye-watering increases in their household costs in 2023. Of course, there is Brexit compounding all, creating labour shortages, trade barriers, higher business costs and lost tax income. No wonder that the Tories do not want this Parliament debating and agreeing that this is the time for the people of Scotland to choose independence and a future that we have the opportunity to create and make our own decisions, allowing this Parliament to be able to provide that better future for Scotland. I am more surprised that Labour is seeking to obstruct this debate. We have worked well over the past three or four months, and I would have thought that Labour would have been interested in debating and, as Star Wars 6 pledges for reform in Holyrood, which include the view that the Scottish people are sovereign and have the right to determine the best form of government suited to our needs. In closing, Britain, in my opinion, is broken beyond repair, and now it is time for the people of Scotland to decide their future. The question is that amendment 7455.2, in the name of Sandesh Gilhane, which seeks to amend business motions 7455, in the name of George Adam, on behalf of the parliamentary bureau, on changes to today's business, be agreed. Are we all agreed? The Parliament is not agreed, therefore we will move to a vote, and there will be a brief suspension to allow members to access the digital voting system.


Hello everyone. My name is Raghavendra Roy. Today I am going to present our work, misuse-free key recovery and distancing attacks on 7 round Scon. This is our joint work with Kaihu, Sumanthu Sarkar and Sivaisan. Here is the outline for today's talk. First I will give overview of the Scon algorithm. Next I will present what we mean by misuse-free attacks. Then I will present some key recovery attacks on 7 round Scon and some new distinguisers. Let's start with the description of Scon. So Scon was designed by Dovryag, Ekshader, Mandik and Sefer in 2014. Basically it was submitted to the Caesar competition and it is one of the winners of the same competition in the lightweight applications category. Also right now it is a finalist or finalist out of the 10 candidates of the on-going NIST lightweight cryptography project. So at a very high level we will look into the Scon. Then it takes as inputs a secret key K, nonce N, associate data A, message M and then it outputs a side vertex C whose length equals the length of the message M and then authenticates intact T. Here the intact T provides the integrity and authenticity for the nonce associate data and message. Now if we look into how the Scon works then it is based on the well-known sponge-to-plex mode of operation. So there are four phases. The first phase is initialization where the state and where the secret key and the nonce are processed by the permutation P A. Then we have the associate data processing, plain text processing where we generate the cybertext and in the end we have the finalizing phase where we generate the authentication intact T. So here if you note that during the initialization and the finalizing phases the number of rounds of the Scon permutations are A while for the other two phases the number of rounds is V. Now based on the amount of data the Scon processes which is actually orbits per call of the permutation and the number of rounds there are two variants of Scon which are Scon 128 and Scon 128 A. The only difference is in the rate R and the number of rounds of P B. Now if we look into the round function of Scon then it consists of three operations. The first one is PC where the round constraint where the 8-bit round constraint is added to the second 64-bit one of the state. Then we have the substitution layer where the Sbox is applied on each of the 64 columns. After that there is a diffusion layer where the rows are where each rows is mixed among themselves. So if we look into the Sbox then the Scon Sbox has a algebraic degree too which is given here and then the linear layer simply consists of the bitwise XR operations and right-side click-sept. So if you see here each word is mixed with its rotated version. So for example Y0 is Y0 XOR with Y0 right-sept Y19 and then again XOR excepted coffee by 28 bits. So the only difference here is for the other words the rotation constants are different. So now let's look into what we mean by misuse free attacks. So before going into that let's see what are the security claims of the Scon designers. So they mentioned that for 120-bit security the number of plain text and associated data blocks that can be processed by a single key is limited to a total of 2 to the power 64 blocks. And the second condition was to ensure that the public nonce should not be repeated for the two encryptions. Otherwise you know the difference of the key streams and then they will be attacked. So nonce should not be repeated. Now given these two conditions we see like what is the attack target in this work. So our attack basically focuses on the initialized interface of the Scon where we take the associated length as 0 and we just work with one block of the plain text block. So the question here is like since there are 12 rounds in the initializing phase. So given the outputs which are cyber text how many rounds out of 12 we can attack and attack in the nonce-respecting setting. So we don't care. So the constant here is the nonce values will not be repeated. Then the second question is are we targeting the key recovery attacks. So that means you are recovering the key words K0 and K1 or just simply distinguishing the outputs which are given by the cyber text. So now we are looking to both mean by misuse free. So if the data complexity of the entire attack is less than 2 to the power 64 basically it fulfills the designer's requirements then we call it as misuse free. Otherwise there could be an attacks Scon which requires more than 2 to the power 64 although they could be generic. But the data complexity is more than 2 to the power 64. So basically they are not satisfying one of the requirement of the designers but still they are generic. Okay so now we look into the existing results existing key recovery attacks on Scon. Then if we so we basically divide the existing results into two categories and some of them are valid where the data complexity is less than 2 to the power 64 and the other where the data complexity is more than 2 to the power 64. So if you see the best attack can be covered till six rounds and it requires data and time 2 to the power 64 although there is an attack on seven rounds with time 2 to the power 103 but the data complexity of this attacks is more than 2 to the power 64. So we ask ourselves whether there is an attack on seven rounds where the designer's requirements are not violated. So that's what we give here. We present an attack on seven round Scon which requires 2 to the power 23 data sorry 2 to the power 23 time and the data is 2 to the power 64 and it's based on the idea of a cube attacks in terms of distinguisors. So till now the best distinguisors can reach up to six rounds and they require 2 to the power 23 data. So we present new distinguisors here starting round four to round seven and all the all of our distinguisors require data which is much less than 2 to the power 64. So all these distinguisors we found using the division property. Now let's look into the key recovery attacks on seven rounds. Okay so the basic idea for attack is based on the principles of cube attack. So for example consider a Boolean function in six variables so three secret variables and three public variables. Now here if we take the second order derivative with respect to public variables v0 and v1 so that means you are evaluating the Boolean function f over all possible values of v0 and v1 and v2 is constant and then you XOR their values. So this basically gives you the expression which is k0 plus q2 plus one which is known as the superpoly of the cube v0 and v1. Symptoms of cube attack notices v0 v1 is known as the cube and here since we are working on two dimensions so this is a two-dimensional cube and v2 is fixed. So this is a non-cube variable and k0 plus k2 plus k1 is called as a superpoly of cube v0 and v1. So now till now there are many methods which can recover this superpoly and these methods are based on the automated tools like groovy, constant programming, set SMD but the issue here is once the dimension of the cube is large then we don't know any information about the superpoly. So in this work what we do we try to recover this superpoly without the aid of any automated tools or at least we give some theoretical answers for recovering the superpoly. So let's start with the initial state of the Scon. So if you remember the cube variables they are loaded in the word three and word four. So we work with this state configuration where we take the cube variables in word three and in word four we fix all of them to be zero. Now for this state configuration we have the following observation. So for round r if we select 2 to the power r minus 2 to the power r indices i from the set 0 to 63 and corresponding to this indexes it will look the cube monomial and its superpoly of each state bit after r rounds then we can show that this superpoly is entirely determined by these 2 to the power r equivalent qubits which is basically k i 0 plus k i 0 plus 64 or so basically it's like if you look into one column then the superpoly depends on this equivalent qubits where k 0 plus k 64 or k 1 plus 65 or k 2 plus 65 it's like this so over as total 2 to the power r equivalent qubits rather than the original qubits. So similar observation was used for in dms 15 to attack up to second rounds up to six rounds of Scon. So in this work we use the similar observation but with a different technique to attack seven rounds. Okay so what's our goal here so the goal is to recover the superpoly of the 64 dimension cube which v0 times v1 times v63 after seven rounds and the number of the time complexity is be less than 2 to the power 128 seven round Scon calls. So now this goal this is equivalent to recover the superpoly of the cube after the six round Sbox layer this is because we can invert the last linear layer. So for recovering the superpoly we present the technique which is partial polynomial multiplication. So to give a high level idea of our technique we can consider this following example so let's say we have the algebraic normal form of the first column after round one so we have the five bits and so five bits are basically corresponding to five columns and this is the algebraic normal form. Now let's say we are interested in the cube monomials of degree 2 by multiplying some some of these columns. So for example if we multiply the second column with the first column and since k is constant here and we multiply x to 1 0 with x 1 1 0 then this will never give the degree 2 terms so we can simply eliminate x to 1 0 while multiplying. Also note that if we multiply this v0 with this expression then here also the degree is still 1 because v0 is same so the degree does not increase or if you look have a more close look then basically we are interested in these reduced terms. So basically a product of only specific terms will give us two dimensional cubes and not all so like this we don't need any terms from here because they will never contribute to the degree. So we apply this simple idea on seven rounds has gone in two steps to recover the k. So in step one we enumerate all 32 dimensional cubes and their corresponding superpolis after six rounds. Now once we have all these cubes and superpolis then we multiply them using this partial polynomial techniques partial polynomial multiplication techniques and then we recover the superpoly of 64 dimensional cube after seven rounds. Okay so now we have 64 outputs in the after seven rounds so we can recover all one by one so the entire the procedure for recovering superpolis for all 64 bits is exactly same. So we just show the procedure for the procedure for the 0th bit here. Okay so now we write a 0th bit in algebraic novel form then the quadratic terms are shown in red so we are only interested in the quadratic terms here because the other terms can only have degree 16 so if we multiply with another 32 terms then the degree could be 48 and they will never contribute to 64 dimensional cube. So we are only interested in the terms as shown in red so which is equivalent we need to compute the superpoly for this term. So now let's see how we compute this. So first we give an example of the data structure how we arrange the superpolis and their and the cubes. So let's say if we look into this bit then this basically denotes the 32 dimensional cube the poisons of the 32 dimensional cubes and in this array we have the corresponding superpoly. So now we have all the 32 dimensional cubes as well as their corresponding superpolis for x16. Similarly we have all the possible 32 dimensional cubes for this expression for this express and their corresponding superpolis. So basically how much memory is needed here because we have 64 choose 32 cubes and for each of the cubes we have we can have at most 2 to the power 32 monomials and we have 3 ton days state bits. So overall you need around 2 to the power 101 memory. So this is the worst case you know it's just an example. Now how we compute the superpolis for the 7 rounds. So instead of 1 we find the cubes and superpolis of 6 rounds. So what we have we have 64 choose 32 cubes and this is the dimension of the cube due to the power because it's the dimension of the cube. So we evaluate over all possible values of the cube and then now we also can find out the degree of the superpoly is at most 15. So now in one superpoly we can have at most these many monomials. So this means the total time which is needed to compute all the superpolis for 6 rounds and for all these 2 bits is 2 to the power 123.48. Now once we have these superpolis we only need to multiply our very specific polyomials. So for example this is the 32 dimensional cube. Now this cube corresponding to this cube we can get a 64 dimensional cube only by multiplying this cube. For the other cubes the degree is at most less than 63 because there will be some common variables. So now we multiply all of them and we know for each of them the number of monomials is at most this one. So for that we need to access memory. So corresponding to each of the cube we have around 2 to the power 120 to memory access. Now this is just for one bit. So basically we can do this in parallel fashion. So this will require the same amount of time. So now once we have the superpolis and we know that this depends on the equivalent qubits. So for each of the equivalent qubits we compute the superpoly and store in the hash table. So this requires around 2 to the power 70 bits of memory. Now in the online phase corresponding to each cube we compute the cube sum and if it matches with one of the entry in the hash table then this is basically one of the key candidate one of the right key candidate. Now once we opt in this then we do an excessive search on the remaining 64 qubits because we know the keys are equivalent. So from the equivalent keys we compute the original key and then do an excessive key search and this requires around 2 to the power 64 7 round scone calls. So in terms of overall attack complexities we require 2 to the power 64 data memories around 2 to the power 101 plus 2 to the power 70. Now this memory we just do for computing superpoly once this is done we can discard the once we know the superpolis we will discard this. So and also in terms of total time we only need 2 to the power 1237 round scone calls. Now some remarks on this key recovery text. So we know like all these we know that this offline phase is done only for once and there are some other state configurations and there are some optimized syntax which are given in the paper where we can reduce the time complexities and here all the all our assumptions are the worst in worst case. So for example then the total number of cube dimensional cubes the total number of monomials in superpoly and the number of partial polynomial distributions. So there is a high chance that these complexities can be improved. Now let's look into the new distributors. Okay so the idea of new distributors is very basic the only thing is like how we construct them. So here again so basically what we are trying to find is for given initial state we are trying to find some conditions on the non-slip so that the algebraic degree of the outputs in cube variables is at most 63. So now if you look into the existing distributors so in all the former distributors the idea was to linearize the first round because if you look the s-works output of a round one then only the bits in work 2 are quadratic in cube variables. So if you set one of them as constant then the round one becomes linear and after that there is a quadratic growth in the algebraic degree. So basically if the after round one the degree is 1 then after round two is 2 then 4, 8 like this. So that's why the previous distributors can reach up to 6 rounds and the degree is 32 because for 7 rounds the degree becomes 64 and for that you need 2 to the power 65 data. So what we observe here so if we set the cube variables in word 3 and word 4 is equal. So that means after setting cube variables v0 equals v0 in word 3 and 4. So if you see here all the green that last two green rows are equal then we can note that the word 2 and word 3 they becomes independent of the nonce variables. Now using this observation we compute the upper bounds on the algebraic degree by giving improved model for the three subset bit waste division property. So we found that after 7 rounds the degree is at most 59 so that means we can have a 60 dimensional cube whole superpolis are always 0. Also we found another observation that if we choose a 5 dimensional cube like vi, vi plus 8, vi plus 16, vi plus 17, vi plus 24 and vi plus 63 then we found that this cube variables do not multiply with each other after round two. So basically if you choose any 5 out of 6 then we can have a distribution for 4 rounds with 32 nonces. So the previous here was with 2 to the power 7 nonces so this is also an improvement. Okay so now to conclude so in this work we have given the first key recovery attack on second 7 round scone and we did not violate the data limit as well as the non-respecting setting of the design. We also gave the first 7 round distributor in the AED setting which was not known before and improved the existing distinguisers for 4, 5 and 6 rounds. And we have like since our attacks are based on the first case scenarios so we believe that there are a lot of room for improvements in the attack complexities. That's all for the talk and all the source codes for our distinguisers are available in our GitHub page so if you are interested you can have a look. Thank you.


It's just a pretty change of slides. Thank you. Let me get myself a chair while you close up the presentation. Yeah, so my name's Floyd DeGoster, and this is, you know, we down on a slightly different slide. Probably more around Flutter Bay, but what, where we, if you took the blockchain world and you split it into two halves, you've got the cryptocurrency side of things, and on the other side, you've got more around blockchain as a technology and how enterprises can do it. That's the space we play in, and that's the space we're building, a kind of an extension platform which any enterprise can go and build its applications that use blockchain technology. But what I want to talk about is how can enterprises use blockchains for digital transformation, right? Judging next slide. So here's the thing. Today, not a single day goes by when you don't hear about blockchain in the media, right? And I'm not talking about scientific journals, I'm not talking about trade magazines, but I'm talking about mainstream media. Not a single day. Every day you pick up, you know, any, even regular newspapers, right? And companies have put millions, investors have put millions of dollars and pretty much every financial institution worth its, you know, workscape is dabbling in the technology in some form or the other, right? Now, you've got a multitude of use cases here, and in fact, the competition slide that I, you know, that presented before we had pretty much covers a lot of these places, right? So you've got the whole currency space and how can you, and this is where it all started, right, cryptocurrencies. But now, the asset area is where a lot of financial institutions today are, you know, looking at leveraging distributed ledgers, but also smart contracts. Guys from Macaulay are pretty much, you know, and they're friends and they pretty much lead on this where they look at smart contracts at the service and things like that. But also, when you look at things like this, it goes beyond just finance and FinTech and financial institutions, right? So you've got supply chain management. You saw the trade finance thing, but you also got media companies looking at things like digital rights management that you can now manage on the blockchain. Not just that, in fact, you can also look at legal, and I know I have my friends here from the legal fraternity, and this tremendous potential where you can actually record and think of a blockchain. Of course, there's the whole space around data and how can you do electronic record or it's auditing contracts and things like that. And last but not the least, the whole B2B space, right? Which is pretty much disrupting mainstream finance where everything is now B2B, the whole piece about this intermediation where you pick out the middle man and just connect person to person. So a number of use cases, and trust me, they're definitely poor, but I try to market this to five large areas. But just to show you the amount of different use cases and potential for blockchain technology, right? Next slide. If you've been attending blockchain talks and seminars and presentations, you've probably had more than enough of this. But here's the thing. From digital identity and organization, things like smart contracts and business automation, blockchain is swiftly establishing itself in the enterprise space, right? It is becoming one of the key enablers. It has potential, it's a key enabler for the digital enterprise. Now, I've been working in digital transformations in, you know, for quite a while, not related to blockchain, but standard digital transformation, having designed a kind of platform where you can use Twitter, you can tweet and you're able to actually check in your flight using Twitter and things like that. And one of the biggest challenge, or some of the biggest challenges that digital transformations face, not necessarily reason, they fail but challenges, apart from the whole change management and the personal thing is about identity, security, and the trust factor. Again, both the previous speakers spoke about this, how can you bring about identity and trust in a pretty much trustless environment? Interactions with, you know, interactions between parties where they don't trust each other and probably don't even know each other and yet need to interact without the middle man. How can you make that effective? And I think blockchain by its very nature being digitally made presents itself, you know, to the digital transformation of enterprise, not just banks and financial institutions but across the world, right? Things about the whole decentralization base. Again, being cryptographically sexual, immutable, once you write a record of the blockchain, it's pretty much written there forever. And things like the whole consensus base, right? And that's what makes blockchain such a, you know, basically lends itself to digital transformation that would make it by enterprises across industries. Next slide. So, here's the thing, I was, you know, the last three months or so, I've spoken to a number of industrialists. I've spoken to a central bank, I've spoken to a stock exchange and I've even spoken to a dairy house. Now, these are really organizations that don't just into a new technology instigator. Basically, they need to have fairness, it needs to be stable, they are pretty much the last guys to get on board. But these are people already talking about blockchain as a technology entity, how they can leverage this. Two reasons, probably, like I said, hey, here's something that lends itself and we should be looking at it immediately. Or, probably, they are the middlemen, they are the intermediaries, you know, which blockchain has potential to disrupt, right? The whole disintermediation is. And probably that's why, but then, let me just check, I have friends here from a credit card processor, I have friends from the legal fraternity, and again, when these companies are looking at blockchain as a technology entity, how they can leverage it, you know that this has the potential to fly, right? Can we go to the next slide? Okay, this is where I do the pitch. So, what we are really building is blockchain foundry. Now, we offer any enterprise opportunity to simply design, develop and deploy blockchain applications. When we went around asking, and you know, there have been a number of these conferences that we've attended, hundreds of people, you know, talked about different use cases, but when the enterprise needs to start, you ask any CI or any, you know, Chief Innovation Officer, one of them, everyone that they do, yes, we want to explore the technology, yes, we want to dabble in this space, but the question is, how do I get started? How do I even, you know, kickstart a project in this space, and that's where, you know, we decided to go back and say, hey, how can we make it simple? How can we make it easy? And so, what we offer is a complete stack. We offer any enterprise the opportunity to have its own blockchain lab, not just any enterprise, even a startup or any entrepreneur. What we offer is a complete stack, which means if any enterprise has an innovation center, then we can set up a blockchain lab and within that for you. So, what are the simple terms or technical terms, what you get is pre-information cloud servers, pre-set up and blockchain networks that are pre-configured nodes and things like that, a cloud development environment, get to positively kind of manage, you know, manage code, manage versions and things like that. And last but not least, since we've built this ground up for the enterprise, things like signal, sign-on and SSL, everything is very secure, which means any enterprise can now, very quickly, you know, start with blockchain applications. If you look at it, and you know, we're talking about more of an enterprise in this space, pretty much all the founders come with a background in enterprise. And what we realized is, even, you know, some of the companies, some of the organizations that are looking at the technology, to do a simple VOC could take anywhere between three to six months and cost wide development. And what we decided to do is say, take healthcare and that also become, number one is how do I get started, but number two, also how do I avoid this prohibitive cost, right? It doesn't need to be that expensive. That's what we decided to do. We've got, we're building a platform that address these two questions that we can let any enterprise, any entrepreneur, simply get started very, very quickly. Next slide. Here you see a simple screenshot of what they are. Judging. Thank you. This is what I meant, and here's the thing. This is what the platform looks like, which means any enterprise, we've got some sample code, we've got a bit of post-election, which means any enterprise can take some of the sample code we have, clone it and start to work with their own version of the code. Once they customize it, again, they're not saying, hey, go do something great. Just take a simple application and just get started, right? So take some of the sample code, change the color, change the logo, change the logic of it, and instantly deploy it on the blockchain networks below. Now what happens is, within a few weeks, you have a live blockchain application within your enterprise. What does it do? Number one, hey, you've got something real now. Most enterprises can't even get started, but now you have applications ready in three weeks. Number one, number two, you can actually showcase it to stakeholders and look at getting them on board and basically securing sponsorship for the whole thing. Number three is, you now have a live application to understand the potential of distributed technology and a blockchain-based system. It says, hey, now that I have this, I might never really use this application, but hey, can I think about what can be done within the organization? So yeah, and the thing, and again, it's about how do we get started? Once you get started, then the ball keeps rolling, right? And of course, how can you do this at a fraction of the cost and at a fraction of the time, right? Our entire application is built in the cloud. Number one, number two, we are pretty much a blockchain-agnostic. You know, it doesn't matter if you want to use Ethereum, Hyperledge, or my DJ, Bitcoin, crypto, whatever, or all of them, you can pretty much provision any network for you. Last but not the least, again, and I have a few slides which I want to run through. We consciously believe that an enterprise building blockchain applications, it cannot have a set of developers sitting in the basement, you know, coding and building these applications. Blockchains need to become a part of the enterprise fabric, which means that you're going to read and write to blockchains. You also need to be able to read and write core systems that exist, for example, the banks and things like that. And that's where we also offer enterprise APIs so that any enterprise which has, you know, let's say, banking systems or insurance systems that have APIs, you can also integrate back into your core systems. Now, what this offers is truly enterprise applications that you build, that use both the blockchain but also the existing systems.  No way. I don't think you can do that right away. Again, if you're just building pilots and prototyping right now and you're looking to build blockchain applications, no, yes, you want to use distributed ledgers but pretty much also want to use core functionality that you build over the years, things like your customer database, things like your, you know, your accounts, your cars, different, again. Last but not the least is the section on top.  The loan department wants to run one or two projects. The credit card team wants to run a couple of projects. The commercial banking guys want a project. The customer service is looking at doing, looking at how can they, you know, run up by like a used blockchain technology out there. And so that's where you have different projects running. And you can see that in the workspace at the top that uses the different blockchain networks below. And now the enterprise has a structured way of doing the project in a lab-like format. So it's structured, it's maybe effective, and then it's now part of the whole enterprise as from an enterprise fabric perspective, basically. Blockchain gets embedded into the enterprise fabric. Quickly, this is what we build, this is what we offer, but it's not just enterprise, but any, you know, any institution with the organization, the government agencies, and multiple parties that they are also talking to to offer, you know, the whole blockchain factory, as we call it, the whole stack. That's my pitch, which was a little longer, but can we go to the next slide, and I'm gonna quickly run through this, and then take some questions. Again, how do you get started? And this is what we call our, again, this is a four-part framework that was put together by, and actually proposed by William McGuire, who's the author of the business blockchain. This is one of the best books on Amazon, and I was one of the first, one of the key guys that kind of, was, you know, kind of contributed towards it, crowd-funded, so I'll only say that I actually have my name in the book, but. Multiple ways to look at blockchain, right? Number one is if you can really, how do you, you know, use blockchains to store and value it all? Again, the guys who presented earlier spoke about trust, and I think that's the whole thing about identity and trust, again, and that's how blockchains lend themselves to digital transformation within enterprises. A marketplace of whole new economy, and you already saw, and you probably read more about this, again, the whole ICO space and things like that, and last but not the least, looking at it as a development environment, where, and that's a big area where we focus on how can enterprises look at blockchain as a technology, and how can they become, how they can leverage blockchains as part of their enterprise ID fabric. Next slide, and this is, again, another quick one, which is, and I'll share these slides so that you have that handy, a five-step methodology to harness the potential of blockchain technology within any enterprise, right? You want to start right at the top, where you try to start by understanding the technology, study and evaluate its impact on the industry, get a broader perspective. You can't just start with, you don't just want to start looking at application. You want to look at the bigger picture first and then narrow it down to say, hey, here is how the technology has the potential to impact my business. Again, it could be from this intermediation, it could be from the whole security and trust perspective. Number two, put together a small group, a working group that looks at it and evaluates it in another day's fitment within the company strategy. Number three, you then want to score and prioritize some initiatives that you come out with. You then want to look at the prioritized one, you want to start in a small part and start the prototype, start the play around with the technology and then the moment you see a couple of winners, you can pick them and look at taking some of this technology mainstream. Next slide. Here are our follow-up concentrations and again, this is something we like to talk about. I mentioned this earlier also. We consciously believe that a blockchain application, at least within the enterprise space, cannot be this one project running off the basement. It has to be part of the overall framework, it has to be a part of the enterprise strategy and blended into the enterprise. So again, if you look at it today, a lot of these are pretty much disconnected systems that are kind of detached from the core application than within any organization. So how can you build it all together? And then the last part is the whole ecosystem that we see. And I think this is a space where, of course you probably heard this, enough of media around how a set of banks are getting together, how a set of micro-organizations, even manufacturers coming together to kind of form consortiums that work together to drive the technology and bring it to market. And I think that's a great space, but not only in the organization, but also within an organization. I don't know if any of you have pretty much ever and all of you would have engaged with the bank, but even in a modern economy like Singapore. Very unlikely, the loan department, the commercial banking team, the consumer banking team, forget talk to each other, don't even know each other there, right? So the same story, if the 10 forms together, a personal account, a savings account, you fill the same 10 forms for a credit card, you fill another eight for, if you're looking for a loan and things like that. So there's a lot of opportunity, even in the department, within an enterprise, of course, then if you're looking at the government space, then there's an opportunity for an inter-agency collaboration. And the whole distributed nature of this technology and the cryptographic, asymmetric cryptography presents itself as an opportunity for these enterprises, internally or further, externally to collaborate and yet be sure that all information and all confidentiality is maintained. Next slide. That's the last one, and this is, okay, we gotta make a first step something. So what, if you need to get started, yes, you've looked at the technology, and now you need to decide, hey, where am I gonna get started, right? So what are key areas or what are key situations, where this technology can be really used? Number one, the transparency, but how can I bring about transparency? I know a number of, you know, we're talking to a couple of government agencies that are looking at, hey, how can I make things more transparent for people, right? Collaboration, like I said, within an institution as well as among institutions is enough opportunity because of the nature, because of the very nature of blockchain technology. Trust, and you've probably heard this in the previous situation, the previous presentation, the whole trade finance space and multiple areas, where the technology is able to bring about trust in trustless environment. The court becomes the kind of law, and basically facilitates, brings about this trust among parties that don't trust each other and probably don't even know each other. This intermediation, this is about taking out the middle man, right? When I spoke about, you know, my conversations with some of the largest intermediaries, like Stock Exchange, like Central Banks, and even clearing houses and things like that, because, hey, it's not just about them being disruptive, but how can they also participate in this to basically change the way they function? And I think that's a huge opportunity for them there to say, hey, we've been doing this the same way for the last 20, 30, 40, 50 years. Now, here's an opportunity that presents itself for us to basically look at the next generation of solutions, or someone's going to come and take us out anyways, through people. Depending on which side of the table you're sitting on, you look at it differently. And last but not the least, is security. I think it's a huge opportunity for the American when you look at security, as organized security information data and things like that. But I also believe blockchain technology by its very nature presents itself for things like cybersecurity and things like that. Also, how can you secure information between multiple parties and anything? So if you look at the regular use case for your digital rights management and stuff like that, but also the whole cybersecurity space. And again, if you've looked at, this is something I'm passionate about, if you look at cybersecurity and the way it enterprise the security of their systems, they've been doing it the same way for multiple of years. So things like firewalls, VPNs, of course those aren't necessary, but it's on the same base.  Of course the latest, wanna cry, wanna cry now. One going around. What do the service providers do? They issue another batch, they even put another batch on top of that tomorrow and the after every time. But how about looking at emerging technology and things like blockchains, which by the very nature again, pretty much revolutionized cybersecurity and offer very different ways of actually addressing these cyber attacks, right? One last piece, like I mentioned again, the whole intra-institution thing there where any large organization, it's not, I have a background in managing consulting and trust me, even management consultants don't talk to here as much, but then when you're looking at the institution of banks, insurance, large manufacturers with operations spread across the globe, there's nothing more opportunity intra-institution but also the inter-institution where banks collaborate directly without having to go through multiple layers of central organization, right? That's pretty much my last slide and I'm having to make any questions there. It's your solution. So here's the thing and how come I forgot to say this? So very often it's not a question about is it applications and given the sensitivity and the regulation and things like that, most of the use cases right now are using private permission blockchains. So we set up private networks. So we can actually set up private Ethereum network or probably use multi-chain to Bitcoin, which is Bitcoin Core and stuff like that, right? So a lot of, but no, if an institution looking to build an application, you think something like Steadar or even the public Ethereum network or public Bitcoin network, we can use that, we can set up a node. There's a critical back, a couple of slides. So hyperledger is one blockchain network, right? One more. So if you look here, we have hyperledger here. So if you're building an enterprise application, you can use the hyperledger, you can use the hyperledger network, right? If you want, you can use that protocol, that blockchain, a private blockchain network, that's hyperledger. Similarly, you have multi-chain Ethereum. Whatever application you're building, depending on what network you want, we can set that up for you. So any other questions? So what we offer is a platform, right? So you can use different blockchain technologies, different blockchain networks, any one, we are number one blockchain technology, so like I said, you can use Ethereum, multi-chain like that. We're also pretty much in-front agnostic, which means it currently run as your own, so running on Amazon or any other cloud services, right? Yeah, so this is a, in fact, this becomes the second question, lovely. Now I have a platform, right? But how do I get started? So very often, the, so, you know, I might be here, but there's a time to say, fantastic, I want to use this, and I have five developers, hey, but I need a couple of consultants to come in, right? So we try and address that ourselves with our limited team, but then we have a network of partners and experts that we also bring in to kind of address these questions, right? Not just from a consulting perspective, kind of design the solution, but also then to kind of, a couple of developers to help build it out along with that in-house team. Ah, hey, that's a nice one. So we are, we have a brokerpad ready, so if anybody wants to see this application, it looks exactly like this. So if anybody wants to see it, please. Hi, so we are, I was talking to a couple of investment bankers and I was also talking to a number of folks, and pretty much everybody, whenever I demoed it, and it's become a matter of pride for me, but whenever I demoed it, pretty much everybody says, fantastic, this is the first blanching platform I've ever seen, yeah? So people just haven't seen that, so if any of you want to see it and know what it looks like, feel like great. Coming back to your question, so we'll be launching it officially in the first of June, we are doing three pilot, okay, we want to get three three pilot customers, one in Singapore, one in Hong Kong, and probably we do one in Korea, and then from there on, it's a feedback, and then it'll help. So what we are, the offering is what we call a limited release, to a select set of, run a select set of pilots, so any of y'all are from an enterprise that's looking to adopt the technology, and want a pretty much free pilot, reach out to me after this, and have you to have a conversation. And once we've done that, let's say, I believe August, if I'm not mistaken, is when we'll have a commercial version available. Any other questions, guys? Sorry? So if something, we mentioned in one session, yeah. This is an interesting question, so usually what we offer is an enterprise thing, right? So any enterprise can have its own blockchain innovation lab where you get the full stack, right? This is the office space. Now, given that we are a startup, we don't have the capability to be able, or the resources that have to be able to offer it to many people, but we're talking to a partner, and we're talking to a telco who can then host this, and then make it available for individuals to go and play around, right? So hopefully we can get that fixed shortly, because we've received tremendous requests for this, just people who are looking to get into the space, right? And I've also had bankers who said, you know, I'm tired of doing what I know, the potential, and I'd love to have something like this to get started, right? Something that makes it very simple and yet very structured to go about building. Sorry. Yes, and you know what? If you're building a single application, you probably don't need such a complex system, right? An enterprise that, you know, with multiple divisions, multiple units looking to each one then wanting to run their own single or couple of pilots, and then you have seven, eight, nine projects that are running, and that's when it makes sense to have something like this, right? Because it gives it, it makes it a lot more structured, a lot more effective for any CIO or any, you know, digital head of any organization, right? What about if it's a business company, if it's a business company, it's already at the end of the line, so I won't put platform on place to sell my... Sure. I'm not even kidding my client, but I won't put platform on place, it's on my client. Then we should be a partner, rather than, of course, that's possible. And so we've got multiple requests, and of course we're looking at multiple, systemally great as even to work with them to say, hey, you've got the resources and deliver these solutions, so that if you have the platform, you might be able to clients or multiple clients, you have a set of licenses, and then you use the platform to deliver the solution, right? The only thing you need to make sure is, again, so the way we've done it right now is each client gets his own version of this, so it's a cookie cutter model, right? And the only reason we do that is because of the regulation and the compliance piece, right? Where it has to be cycled, so if you can't have multiple, but if your clients are okay having multiple projects, I mean projects of multiple clients running on the same system, then sure, usually the manufacturers and all are a little bit, you know, relaxed on that, but bank will be very particular that, hey, if you're going to use this, then you can't have a competitor on the project running right besides mine, right? And I think they need that more from a regulation perspective right now. There are certain kinds of, I don't know, but happy to discuss that. No question, guys, otherwise I'm going to let you go home. This is the last piece for the day. Like I said, if you're an enterprise and want to buy a little bit, happy to have one of the guys get a job you can't afford.


Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft and thank you for watching my tutorial today. I am going to be featuring some projects that are all inspired by Chinese New Year. So as a lot of you will know I live in China and we're currently celebrating the build up to Chinese New Year. There's lots of lanterns, there's things being made, it's just a really nice feel in the air and people are getting ready for you know having time off with their family and friends. So I thought I would make some projects to show you because it's all around paper craft but I'm going to be updating them, not updating them, that's the wrong word, I'm going to be changing them so they will fit any time of the year so not just for Chinese New Year. So the colors are changing and I've kind of you know just altered little bits and pieces and those are going to be the projects that I'm going to share with you over the coming days. So today to kick start I'm showing you these Unpal lanterns. Unpal is the red envelopes or the red pockets that are given at special occasions so weddings, birthdays, Chinese New Year, autumn festival, there's many many many festivals and they basically look like this, they're all different. This one's for happy happy birthday for example. These are Chinese New Year ones but I've used them all with these ones here and these are for my husband's work colleagues to just decorate the office and stuff. So this is what it is but I'm going to be showing you how to use them as six by six papers in non-traditional Chinese New Year colors and stuff but I just wanted to show you these all using different sites and different amounts of the red pockets. So this one here for example really lovely, I've got the little tassel hanging here as well, this is with four so you've got one two three and four so that gives you that style okay. Then I've got this one here which is with five which is my favorite style, I really like this one and I've done that with the white, I've done another one with the five so that's the same there with the black and then I've done this one here which is with six so it's a lot more flatter, bit more like you know yeah just a wider looking one, more spaceship like I think that one but still lovely. The reason why they give the red pockets is just basically to just wish you know good blessings, great health, prosperity. They're always given during, the red ones are given during festivals of happiness, you would never give any other, especially not white, do not give white, white is used for more somber occasions so like a funeral and things like that. So yeah there's many many reasons behind them but it's a protective colour, it's to fight off evil spirits and it represents prosperity, there's just many many things like I've said good health and things like that so it's just really nice I love I do like this we've been given some really lovely gifts so these are these so these are done so I'm just gonna pop them to one side and let me show you the ones I've done to go in my craft room so these are using the first edition papers and you can see there I've changed these a bit so they're all done using staples but rather than staple the top or no this I did staple the top then I covered it with these embellishments and you can see there I've used the tassel again and that's using the five like I said the five is is is my favourite I think so that's that one and then this is the four so again the same and now they're just really nice and I'm doing a third one today because I want three of them to hang in a little cluster from my ceiling and they just look really quite cute so I thought I would share this very very easy tutorial with you so I'm just gonna hang them back up there so what you will need is what do I do here one so two three pieces of six by six so this is just from a paper pack and it's double-sided because that works really well with this project as well and then this is the the fifth one I'm going to be showing with you here and I've just got some embellishments to decorate these beautiful tassels which I will share all the links to I've purchased I've got some silver ribbon and then I've just got this little disc which I've die-cut and I've just put a little hole punch through and that's just to sit on the top just kind of covers up bits and pieces and then you will also need a stapler so very very straightforward there's no glue unless you want to glue it together but I will show you now why it's a bit difficult to use the glue so I've already done those four so all you need to do is grab a piece here so these measure so it was two it was one piece of six by six and then I just cut it in half so you will have a piece of three by six okay now you want the if you don't have six by six papers you can use you could do three by eight you could do a four by it needs to be rectangles needs to be long tall pieces it wouldn't work with the square so just anything that's a rectangle will work really well with this okay so you get your piece here this is the three by six I'm gonna just fold it depending on what patterns that's obviously gonna be my main pattern on show and then this is gonna be the bits that fold over like so so just bear that in mind with whatever paper so if you want whatever you want showing you want to face up and you're gonna fold the card in half but don't burnish all down there just pinch the ends like so and then fold in half this way and again pinch like so so I can now see I've been turn it over there I can see just where I've marked the middle of both of those sides and then mark the middle of this side here okay then what you want to do is just fold from where you've just pinched those little pieces like so if you want to mark a pencil mark along here here here and here to mark the middle then do that if that's better for you and then just fold so you're just folding from that pencil mark down to the other pencil mark so again on this side here I'm just gonna fold and you can see what I'm doing there just creating this triangle get your bone tall as well just so that you're really defining those score lines and then again just mark this one here yes that's that all folded so you just want to make sure that all of your points all join up on each bit there like so okay so once you've done that with all of the five pieces or the four pieces or the six depending on the styles that I showed you at the beginning that you want so basically you want to grab two and you're just going to put together the backs of them so they almost sit back to back okay you just want to focus on this piece here this triangle bottom right hand triangle make sure your cards all lined up okay and then with your stapler you're going to staple two or three literally just filled it up why is it not working okay start again how frustrating right so again just staple two or three along that score line okay so just stapled just along that burnished score line there so when you open it up it will be joined but you want this to be loose so if you are wanting to use glue instead you want to put a very thin line of glue along the score lines and join them together this needs to be open okay so that's that one bear in mind this is always the front it's going to be the outside get the next one again put it line it up with the bottom of the next side so this left side is stapled we're now going to do the right hand side again make sure it's all nicely lined up needs to be perfect again I'm just popping my staples along like so okay get the next one nicely lined up back to back the last one seems my stapler is a bit dodgy I don't know why it's been final morning okay so leave this one open don't do them all okay so leave that open and then we're going to go around and do the same with the tops and what you want to do is make sure that you curve this bit and that one so they come in like so again line up the top there see what I've done so just opened them up brought them together and just line them up because they're exact same sizes they will match up perfectly they don't make sure that they do okay so you can see now when that opens up is starting to create that effect go around to the next one again always make sure that you kind of curve that bit there line them up the next one starts to get a little bit more trickier now so she would be staple staple that even but it will get there and get that next one okay so what you should be left with now is an opening like this you can see there how that's all come together really well so now what we need to do is add in our ribbon so I'm going to grab just got a piece of scrap card here and just want to cut a little bit off you'll see you don't need to worry just just something similar to what I've got here and then basically what we're going to do is first of all I'm going to thread this through my lovely tassel and do the bottom first like so okay so just got it hanging like that then I'm going to staple it onto this big card just pop a couple of staples on there okay and then choose what you want to be the top of the bottom you're going to sit that in and then we're going to close it and that card just stops it falling out okay so now we can seal the bottom again just gonna pop okay all the time all of these will open up which is what you want and then I've got my top one which I just need to make as my little loop with the last piece there I haven't given you a measurement for the ribbon because it's entirely up to you how long you want it to hang you might have somewhere specific for it so again just staple that on and then just slide it in that one there so it will just stop it coming out and then again that last one it's a bit tricky you need to try and get the staple in as close to that edge as possible like so okay now if you want you can leave it like that it does look quite nice so if you did want to leave it like this then you could glue all of it together and not have any of the staples but that is the whole point of this project is to show you a different way of putting something together but there is you could easily do that without the staples and just glue it all and then you could have a nice sentiment in there you could have some ribbon through the last bit so it doesn't join you could open it up and you could have a nice little gift bag could be a different way just seal the bottom one like I did completely but maybe this one don't seal and it's enough room to open it up I haven't done that I'm just throwing out some other ideas but that is basically what we've got there but now I want to do that other style so what you do is you split open to like so and then you curve them over okay so that was that piece split it open and then put one on top of the other now if you want to just glue this if you don't have embellishments to cover staples or you just rather glue it then that's fine put a bit of tacky glue under here and stick it over and just pinch it between your finger and thumb and hold it in place I am going to carry on using my staples because that's the whole reason I like this project and the embellishments I'm going to use cover that perfectly anyway so you just want to go around and literally this is why you want to make sure that you get them all in the as close to the top as possible but I've got that little disc as well to cover up the top so there's ways to hide round card poking through okay and then again the next one and the last ones will go together and again that card push it through so it just hangs within it it shouldn't be coming out like that so first time it's done that okay so that's the top turn it over do the same with the bottom and that's the bottom done so now you can see that really nice style so all I'm going to do is with this piece here which I have put a little hole punch through I'm just wondering if that was a big enough hole I punched through it should be okay and just feed that through and it just covers up the joins there when they meet it just gives it a nice finish as well and then I'm just going to grab my largest of these and just cover them literally sit them directly over the staple these are just inexpensive I think I picked them up from the range or the works and I just think this is a really nice way if you've got a little girls party and you want to make some you've got lots and lots of papers lying around six by six papers you could do clusters of these for any party I think that would look lovely and how gorgeous is that it's just really cute so I'm going to do all them on the bottom as well so obviously you see that it's hanging so I'm sure it's going to be high up like mine will be and just get them all covered there you have it a gorgeous little lantern perfect for any occasion not just Chinese a year so now I've got those three they are going to hang together and might have to change the lens actually I didn't think about that but I want them to kind of cascade down but you can kind of get the idea but there you have it so that's my three Chinese inspired lanterns so I hope you
