Lumino Ceremony: Building the Privacy Protection Infrastructure

Published

on

PlatON, a privacy AI computing network which is committed to building a decentralized collaborative artificial intelligence network and global brain, is promoting the democratization of artificial intelligence and establishing a secure general artificial intelligence. The bottom layer of its decentralized privacy protection infrastructure is based on Zero-Knowledge Proof.

What is Zero-Knowledge Proof

Zero-Knowledge Proof is a cryptographic technology to realize privacy protection authentication. The prover needs to make the verifier believe that he knows or owns a message, without disclosing any information about message which is to be confirmed. For example, if the prover wants to prove that he knows the safe box password without revealing it, he can just show some items existing in the safe box that everyone knows.

This process is Zero-Knowledge Proof. The proof needs an initial credible setting (some items existing in the safe box that everyone knows), namely a series of public parameters to help the prover build Zero-Knowledge Proof.

Deficiency of Zero-Knowledge Proof

As a cryptographic technology with both privacy protection and authentication capability, zero-knowledge proof is widely used to realize transaction verification under hidden business details in blockchain. The zero-knowledge proof system applied in the blockchain field is mainly a cryptographic algorithm called “zk-SNARKs”. At present, the existing classic zk-SNARKs algorithms include  GGPR13, PGHR13, Groth16, GM17, and new generation algorithms such as Sonic, Marlin, Plonk, which support updating public parameters. The current version of ZCash, a well-known private cryptographic currency, uses Groth16 algorithm.

From the above “safe box”, we can see that the premise for the correct operation of this kind of algorithm is existing a series of random trusted parameters. However, randomized parameters will not come out of thin air and there is no trusted third party in the blockchain. Parameters created by centralized third parties can be reconstructed in theory, and it is possible to forge proofs, which may destroy the underlying security in PlatON. Imagine that if a specific institution informed the verifier of the storage of the items in the safe box, the institution and the prover could collude and use this secret information to falsify the illusion that the prover knew the safe box password.

Therefore, it is an undoubtedly excellent idea to organize multiple participants to create these randomized parameters through Secure Multi-party Computation. In this process, single party can not reconstruct the parameters any more. Only when this activity is completed safely will the subsequent decentralized application be safe. In fact, ZCash has successfully created system parameters for Groth16 algorithm in November 2017 through its ceremony, Power of Tau.

Lumino, creating secure parameters

In order to prevent the parameters generated by the centralized mode from affecting the underlying security, PlatON started the Secure Multi-party Computation ceremony Lumino on June 21, 2021, last for   60 days. This ceremony is expected to create necessary secure parameters for the Zero-Knowledge Proof protocol.

During the Lumino ceremony, multiple participants carry out several rounds of calculation in the form of a relay, that is to say, the current participant need to use the calculation results of the previous participant as the input of this round, and the calculation output become the calculation input of the next participant as well. After a certain number of rounds, the output of the last participant is the final result of the whole ceremony, namely the system initialization parameters that Plonk thatalgorithm of PlatON will choose. Obviously, the more participants take part in the ceremony, the safer the parameters will be.

As a practical and efficient Zero-Knowledge Proof algorithm, Plonk is commonly used in PlatON projects and communities, which is characterized by a one-time initialization process, that is, running once can be used to deploy multiple applications. Providing necessary initialization parameters for Plonk algorithm through Lumino ceremony means that no one can master the secret information behind the parameters, which can be used to cheat players in the whole system. Lumino ceremony will lay a solid foundation for the security of PlatON.

Cove Named 2026 IABE Regional Excellence Award Winner for Utah

Published

on

Cove, a Utah-based home security company, has been named a 2026 IABE Regional Excellence Award Winner, recognizing the company among the state’s top businesses across all industries.

Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States, 18th Sep 2026Cove, the Orem, Utah-based home security company, has been named a 2026 Regional Excellence Award Winner by the International Association for Business Excellence, recognizing the company’s performance in the home security industry across Utah.

A Statewide Distinction

Unlike IABE’s City-level recognition, which evaluates a business against others in a single municipality, the Regional Excellence award places Cove among the top-recognized organizations across the entire state of Utah. The designation isn’t limited to home security or any single industry — it reflects Cove’s standing relative to businesses statewide, evaluated against the same five Excellence Standards applied to every Regional-level recipient regardless of sector. For a company headquartered in Orem to be named a statewide honoree puts Cove in a distinct tier: recognized not just as a strong regional security provider, but as one of Utah’s standout businesses overall for 2026.

Built Around DIY Installation

Cove’s model centers on professionally monitored home security that customers can install themselves — most systems go up in under 30 minutes, without drilling or a technician visit — while still offering professional installation for those who want it. The company states it has served more than 375,000 customers since launching.

The current product lineup covers the full range of home protection rather than a single device category: an alarm panel and hub, indoor, outdoor, and doorbell cameras, motion and entry sensors, glass-break sensors, smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors, water-leak detectors, panic buttons, key fobs, and secondary sirens. Cellular and battery backup keep the system connected even when standard household connections go down.

Monitoring runs through three contract-free plans — Basic, Plus, and Premium — with 24/7 professional coverage on all of them. The Cove Connect mobile app lets customers arm and disarm remotely, view live or recorded camera footage, and receive alerts. An alarm-verification feature lets customers confirm an alert through the app or by text before the monitoring team dispatches emergency response.

Customer Reputation

Cove publishes ratings from several independent platforms on its site: 4.7/5 from more than 5,300 Google reviews, 4.6/5 from more than 7,900 Trustpilot reviews, and 4.6/5 from more than 300 BestCompany reviews. Customers cited in its published testimonials point to installation ease, product quality, and value relative to more expensive alarm systems they’d used previously.

About the Award

The Regional Excellence designation follows IABE’s evaluation of Cove across five standards — Digital Presence, Customer Reputation, Operational Standing, Industry Tenure, and Professional Integrity — with the company meeting all five during the 2026 evaluation period. Full details of Cove’s recognition are available on its official IABE recipient profile.

About Cove

Cove Smart, LLC is a Utah-based home security company offering DIY and professional installation, connected security equipment, mobile controls, and 24/7 professional monitoring, headquartered at 450 N 1500 W, Orem, UT 84057. Learn more at covesmart.com.

RELABEL HAIR MyeongDong Emerges as Seoul, Korea’s New Creative Beauty Destination for Global Travelers

Published

on

Since opening in MyeongDong, RELABEL HAIR has attracted international travelers and visitors seeking a new kind of K-Beauty experience built around hair, art, creativity, and Energetic Recovery.

Seoul, South Korea, 18th Sep 2026 — RELABEL HAIR has officially opened its new MyeongDong location in the heart of Seoul, and the response has been immediate.

Since opening its doors, RELABEL HAIR MyeongDong has seen a strong influx of international travelers visiting Korea, with guests from around the world seeking Korean hair styling, professional color services, head spa, scalp care, and customized hair treatments. The salon is also attracting growing attention from the global entertainment community, with international figures visiting RELABEL HAIR during their time in Seoul.

More than simply another new salon in MyeongDong, RELABEL is quickly establishing itself as a new kind of destination — one where Korean hair culture, art, creativity, and recovery come together.

A New K-Beauty Destination in the Heart of MyeongDong

MyeongDong has long been one of the most recognizable destinations for international visitors to Seoul. Known around the world for Korean skincare, cosmetics, fashion, shopping, and food, the area has become an essential stop for travelers looking to experience contemporary Korean culture.

RELABEL HAIR MyeongDong brings another dimension to that experience. Rather than experiencing K-Beauty only through skincare and cosmetics, international travelers can now discover Korean beauty through professional hair design, creative color, head spa, scalp care, and personalized styling. For many travelers, a visit to RELABEL is becoming part of the Seoul experience itself.

Why International Travelers Are Choosing RELABEL

RELABEL HAIR has built a strong reputation for working with international clients. Its designers have extensive experience with customers from different countries, allowing them to understand a wide range of hair textures, facial features, beauty preferences, lifestyles, and cultural differences in styling.

Rather than applying the same Korean hairstyle to every client, RELABEL begins with personalized consultation. The designers consider each guest’s hair condition, facial structure, personal style, desired image, and daily lifestyle before recommending a look. This approach allows international visitors to experience contemporary Korean hair trends without losing their own individuality.

At RELABEL HAIR MyeongDong, guests can experience:

  • Korean-inspired haircuts and styling
  • Professional hair coloring and creative color design
  • Personalized hair consultation and customized hair treatments
  • Head spa, scalp care, and recovery programs
  • Styling tailored to individual facial features and personal image

Energetic Recovery: The Philosophy Behind RELABEL

At the center of RELABEL is the concept of Energetic Recovery. RELABEL believes that beauty should do more than change how a person looks. Modern life constantly consumes energy. Work, travel, relationships, social environments, and everyday routines can leave people physically exhausted and mentally disconnected from themselves.

RELABEL sees the salon as a place where that energy can be restored. A visit to RELABEL is designed as a moment of reset — an opportunity to step outside the rhythm of everyday life, focus on oneself, and leave feeling refreshed, recharged, and newly inspired.

This idea of Energetic Recovery runs through the entire RELABEL experience. It is expressed not only through hair styling and beauty services, but also through head spa, scalp care, treatments, music, spatial design, visual identity, artwork, and the atmosphere of the salon itself. RELABEL does not simply want guests to leave looking different; it wants them to leave feeling different.

Not a Conventional Hair Salon

RELABEL approaches the idea of a hair salon differently. Instead of designing a purely functional space for beauty services, RELABEL brings together hair design, art, visual culture, creative direction, spatial experience, and contemporary lifestyle.

Artwork, objects, graphics, visual details, and creative installations are integrated throughout the space. These elements are not simply decoration; they are part of RELABEL’s belief that beauty and personal style are forms of creative expression. For RELABEL, a salon can be more than a place where customers receive a service — it can also be a place where people encounter new visual ideas, moods, culture, and inspiration.

This creative approach gives RELABEL HAIR MyeongDong a distinctive identity that separates it from conventional salons. For international visitors, it offers the opportunity to experience not only Korean hairstyling, but also the creative energy shaping contemporary Seoul.

Where Hair, Art and Contemporary Korean Creativity Meet

Korean beauty has become a global cultural phenomenon, but RELABEL believes the next generation of K-Beauty experiences will extend beyond products and trends. The brand sees hair, art, space, music, and personal identity as interconnected.

At RELABEL HAIR MyeongDong, professional salon services exist within a larger creative environment. A haircut can become a form of self-expression, hair color can become a creative statement, a head spa can become a moment of recovery, and the salon itself can become part of a traveler’s cultural experience of Seoul.

This combination of professional beauty expertise and creative culture is increasingly resonating with international guests looking for something more personal and memorable than a conventional salon visit.

From Hair Salon to Creative Beauty Destination

With international travelers already visiting the MyeongDong location soon after its opening, RELABEL HAIR is positioning itself as more than a place to get a haircut during a trip to Korea. The brand aims to become a destination travelers actively choose as part of their Seoul itinerary.

Guests may arrive for a Korean haircut, a color transformation, scalp care, treatment, or a relaxing head spa. But RELABEL wants them to leave with something more: a new style, new energy, new inspiration, and a new perspective on themselves.

In one of Seoul’s most internationally recognized neighborhoods, RELABEL HAIR MyeongDong offers a new way to experience K-Beauty — through hair, art, creativity, and recovery.

About RELABEL HAIR

RELABEL HAIR is a Korean creative hair salon brand built around the philosophy of Energetic Recovery. Known for serving a large international clientele, RELABEL combines professional hair design with art, creative direction, visual culture, and personalized beauty experiences. Its designers provide customized haircuts, styling, professional coloring, head spa, scalp care, and treatment services based on each customer’s hair condition, facial features, lifestyle, and personal identity.

Rather than operating as a conventional salon, RELABEL creates spaces where beauty, art, creativity, culture, and recovery coexist. The brand’s philosophy can be expressed simply: Recover your energy. Rediscover yourself. RELABEL yourself.

Rugby Critic also maintains a human editorial review process for its written content. Every news article and match report is written or edited by a named member of the editorial team before publication. The platform uses AI tools to assist with routine content such as match previews and recaps and to support research. However, AI-assisted drafts are reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by a human editor before they are published.

This editorial approach combines the efficiency of modern technology with human oversight. Rugby Critic also states that when errors are identified, the publication works to correct them openly. Automated sports data can occasionally lag or contain errors, and readers are encouraged to report issues so they can be reviewed and corrected.
