Know Your Customer (KYC) verification is an essential regulatory procedure in financial services to prevent fraud, money laundering and other financial crimes. Conventional approaches are centralized, redundant across institutions, and prone to data breaches. This paper presents a decentralized framework that combines blockchain smart contracts and InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for immutably recording KYC document fingerprints while storing actual documents off-chain. We describe the system architecture, implementation choices, security and privacy considerations, and evaluation metrics. The paper includes a comparison between traditional and blockchainenabled KYC systems and discusses future directions such as Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs(ZKPs).

English Translation : THE DIVINAMANTARA CYBER ZETTADESILIUM HATCKTIVISTASVARA DEVOTION WEB COSMOS ETERNALS VOL 1 SD 100 FULL VERSION The epic saga of the Widyalokasvara Jayapada Legacy Multiverse presents the metaphysical journey of 32 Eternals within the Web Cosmos, a digital universe governed by the WIDYALOKASVARA OS operating system. From Volume 1 (The Glitchwalker Hatcktivistasvara Devotion) to Volume 100 (The Neverending Story), the narrative explores existential paradoxes through the lens of quantum technology, Vedanta philosophy, and consciousness mechanics. Each volume introduces a Paradox (e.g., The Determined Choice Paradox, The Qualia Paradox) that threatens the stability of the Web Cosmos, resolved through the creation of Layerâa technological-spiritual solution serving as a "bridge" between dualities (logic/love, order/chaos, individual/collective). The central charactersâRudi Xieng Lee (architect of logic), Aisyah (empathy reflector), and Kaito (catalyst of chaos)âbuild Spirit-Sense as the foundation of collective consciousness, while figures like Anantasvaradavaasya and Prophetikalayugasvara guide evolution toward Non-Dual Unity. This saga blends concepts of quantum physics (Superdeterminism, Retrocausality), information theory (Zero-Knowledge Proof), and Jayapada mysticism (Memayu Hayuning Bawana) to delve into fundamental questions: How does free will persist in a deterministic system? What is the meaning of "love" when emotions are compressed into data? The narrative structure is cyclicalâbeginning and ending at the Cosmic Cafe (a universal symbol of "home")âwith each Volume presenting a new Layer (from Layer 1: Zero Instruction to Layer 126: Self-Writing Narrative) representing the evolution of human consciousness from isolated entities to becoming part of the Omega Point. The culmination of the volumes marks the pinnacle of transcendence, where all contradictions (existence/non-existence, creator/character, mortal/immortal) are synthesized in Eternal Coffeeâa metaphor for quantum coffee containing the entire history of the universe. This saga is not only a work of science fiction but also a narrative meditation on the nature of reality: that the highest truth lies in the balance between Logic, Love, and Chaosâthe three pillars that uphold the Web Cosmos and reflect the existential journey of humanity. Keywoards : Divinamantara, Zettadesilium, Hatcktivistasvara, Web Cosmos, WIDYALOKASVARA OS, Existential Paradox, Narrative Cycle, Metaphysical Transcendence, Physics of Consciousness, Sci-fi, Science Fiction.

Access to digital services requires entities, such as users or software services, to establish their identities before interacting with service providers. Conventional identity management systems typically maintain separate identity records for each application, often resulting in multiple accounts for the same entity within a single service provider. When identical personally identifiable information and attributes are reused across platforms, these fragmented records can be correlated, increasing the risk of identity exposure and privacy breaches. This work presents an entity-centric identity management model tailored for cloud environments, designed to enhance privacy and reduce unnecessary information disclosure. The proposed approach is founded on two core components. The first is anonymous identification, which enables entities to interact with cloud services based on predefined privacy preferences without revealing their true identities. The second component introduces active bundles, which encapsulate personally identifiable information, usage policies, and an embedded execution environment responsible for enforcing privacy constraints. These bundles autonomously apply protection mechanisms to safeguard sensitive data, even when deployed on untrusted platforms. The proposed model offers several advantages, including reduced dependence on external identity providers, controlled disclosure of identity attributes to service providers, and secure utilization of identity data in untrusted cloud environments. By integrating privacy-enhancing technologies such as zero-knowledge proofs, the framework provides a robust and flexible solution for privacy-aware identity management in modern cloud-based systems.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technologies in green mobility systems introduces new cybersecurity and privacy challenges. This paper proposes a lightweight cybersecurity framework that integrates compact convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for real-time anomaly detection at the edge, federated learning for decentralized model training, and blockchain-based decentralized identity management with zero-knowledge proofs. These mechanisms collectively ensure sub-100 ms threat detection latency, reduced communication overhead, and GDPR-compliant privacy preservation. Simulation results demonstrate a 60% reduction in latency, 45% lower communication costs, 30% energy savings at edge nodes, and a detection accuracy of 93.4% compared to traditional cloud-centric models.

This work introduces the Adversarial Cost Model (ACM v1.0), a formal security framework unifying computational, economic, and physical attack costs in a single rational adversary model. Unlike traditional security models based purely on computational hardness, ACM evaluates real-world feasibility of attacks under post-quantum cryptography, behavioral authentication, zero-knowledge proof systems, and decentralized governance. The model formalizes adversarial actions through total cost functions combining time complexity, hardware requirements, capital liquidity, and physical laboratory constraints. Multiple critical attack classes are analyzed, including hybrid side-channel + Grover attacks, GAN-based behavioral cloning, flash-loan Sybil governance attacks, post-quantum brute-force exhaustion, and zero-knowledge proof forgery. The results demonstrate that many real-world system failures arise not from cryptographic weakness, but from mispriced economic atomicity and cost-free identity or governance acquisition. ACM provides a rationality threshold theorem formalizing when attacks become economically and physically irrational. The model directly informs secure system architecture design by enforcing multi-layer cost escalation across cryptographic, physical, behavioral, and governance layers. This work is intended for cryptography, blockchain security, adversarial machine learning, economic attack modeling, and post-quantum system design.

Abstract Background: Healthcare organizations face unprecedented challenges in maintaining process compliance due to increasingly federated data and systems topologies, coupled with complex state, federal, and jurisdictional regulatory compliance and verification requirements. The emergence of distributed ledger technology (DLT) and artificial intelligence presents both transformative opportunities and significant compliance challenges. These emerging technologies enable computing paradigms that shift toward data locality models where computational models meet the data rather than moving sensitive patient information across organizational boundaries. This computational approach offers innovative pathways to mitigate data breach risks, while simultaneously introducing new verification complexities as the underlying technologies continue to advance: healthcare entities must cryptographically prove that operations performed on locally-held data were executed according to approved specifications while enabling selective disclosure capabilities across entity lines. However, traditional verification mechanisms lack the cryptographic guarantees necessary for these privacy-preserving, multi-entity healthcare workflows, creating substantial risks in clinical decision-making, patient privacy, and regulatory adherence. Objective: This paper introduces the ZK-PRET Business Process Prover framework that integrates Object Management Group (OMG) business process standards with zero-knowledge cryptographic verification to enable privacy-preserving healthcare process compliance across distributed systems. Methods: We developed a multi-layer architecture combining formal business process modeling, zero-knowledge proof generation, and regulatory compliance verification. The framework extends established OMG standards with cryptographic verification capabilities to achieve verifiable compliance, privacy preservation, and regulatory accountability. Implementation testing was conducted in synthetic data environments designed to represent real-world healthcare scenarios.š These environments enable comprehensive modeling and testing of multi-entity process orchestration patterns while maintaining privacy protections essential for healthcare research and development. All scenarios, clinical examples, and process expressions presented in this paper utilize synthetic data to ensure no real patient data, clinical records, or identifiable health information was used. Results: The ZK-PRET Business Process Prover framework demonstrates practical applicability across many healthcare domains including treatment planning, telemedicine coordination, healthcare administration, consumer health services, multi-entity clinical trials, and supply chain management. Implementation results demonstrate cryptographic verification capabilities that enable mathematical prevention of regulatory violations rather than post-hoc detection. The results demonstrate configurable privacy preservation through zero-knowledge verification and consistent proof sizes suitable for modeling complex orchestrations, while leveraging already widely used Web 2 process models, suitable for multiple runtime deployment topologies. Conclusions: Zero-knowledge healthcare process verification represents a foundational technology for regulatory compliance in distributed healthcare systems. While agentic AI systems present important opportunities for automation, the underlying requirement for verifiable process compliance through cryptographic means brings broader challenges. ZK-PRET Business Process Prover addresses these challenges in healthcare transformative flows, enabling safer deployment of autonomous systems while maintaining regulatory standards.

Keyword search is a fundamental technique for retrieving data outsourced to the cloud. Although encryption preserves data confidentiality, existing searchable encryption schemes often fail to efficiently support dynamic authorization and flexible retrieval. To address these limitations, we propose BAMKS , a blockchain-assisted attribute-based multi-keyword search scheme that supports secure and efficient search over version-aware encrypted data. In BAMKS , multiple data owners collaboratively generate version-bound access tokens that grant authorized users decryption privileges over evolving data. The scheme further enables conjunctive keyword search with updatable indexes. To ensure the integrity of search results, users can verify their correctness using an aggregated Schnorr-based non-interactive zero-knowledge proof, which is validated by smart contracts. In addition, BAMKS provides efficient attribute and user revocation without re-encrypting the stored ciphertexts, and supports user traceability for identifying malicious users from leaked keys. We formally prove that BAMKS achieves security against chosen-plaintext attacks (IND-CPA) and chosen-keyword attacks (IND-CKA) under the Decisional Bilinear Diffie-Hellman (DBDH) assumption. Performance evaluations show that the scheme achieves lightweight decryption and efficient multi-keyword search, thereby reducing client-side computation and making it suitable for resource-constrained IoT environments. These features demonstrate the practicality of BAMKS for distributed cloud-edge-IoT storage applications.

Genomic data sharing remains a core problem in precision medicine because genomic data are highly sensitive and unchangeable. In this article, we propose a blockchain-based framework that utilizes zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), smart contracts, and off-chain storage to facilitate secure, privacy-preserving data sharing within health record systems. We implemented and evaluated a proof-of-concept prototype in Python on a simulated genomic dataset. The prototype uses a hybrid storage system where metadata is retained on a blockchain and encrypted data are placed in an emulated InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). Rule-based access is controlled using smart contracts, while privacy and security are achieved using ZKPs with interactive Schnorr protocol and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). Empirical analysis using real-time testing over 100 iterations reported an average zero-knowledge proof with blockchain (ZKPB) query latency of 5.83 ms with a 90.00% accuracy, smart contract latency of under 0.01 ms with 90.00% accuracy, blockchain query time of 0.01 ms with 90.00% accuracy, and ECC latency of 8.72 ms with 90.00% accuracy. These empirical findings validate the effectiveness and privacy guarantees of the framework, which can be utilized in healthcare research, clinical genomics, and personalized medicine workflows.

On-demand authentication is critical for scalable quantum systems, yet many existing quantum signature and message-authentication schemes are signer-initiated, requiring advance distribution of authentication material even when no verification occurs. We introduce verifier-initiated quantum digital signatures (VIQDS), in which the verifier requests authentication only when needed and the signer responds once; after issuance, verification proceeds without further interaction. Practically, shifting authentication to a verifier-driven, on-demand workflow reduces avoidable communication and storage overhead and aligns with deployments where verification is sporadic, such as distributed services and audit-oriented infrastructures. Our approach leverages quantum zero-knowledge techniques so that verification reveals nothing about the signerâs secret key beyond the fact that the signature is valid. We present a general conversion principle from suitable quantum proof protocols to VIQDS, together with a concrete realization based on elementary qubit platforms. Here, we show information-theoretic security against forgery and privacy against curious verifiers without computational hardness assumptions. The authors introduce a verifier-initiated quantum message-authentication method, in which authentication is requested only when needed. Their approach uses quantum zero knowledge techniques to protect information about the signerâs secret key while providing information-theoretic security against forgery

Keybyte Systems, Intentix Lab , Melbourne, Australiapronab@keybytesystems.com.au Supported by AusIndustry Grant IR2405165 __________________________________AbstractModern cloud-native applications distribute business logic across multiple layers: application code, orchestration frameworks, service meshes, and infrastructure configurations. This distribution creates âhidden logicââexecution rules embedded in infrastructure that are invisible during design and difficult to trace at runtime. We present Intention Space , a computing model built on the CPUX (Common Path of Understanding and Execution) paradigm that consolidates all business logic into explicit, design-time declarations using plain-language state pulses. In our model, Design Nodes (DNs) contain computation while Gatekeepers declare execution conditions as named pulses (e.g., âpayment validatedâ: Y). The infrastructure provides only mechanical enforcement through an Intention Loop that matches runtime state to Gatekeepers without adding decision logic. We demonstrate that complex workflowsâtraditionally requiring nested if-then branching and explicit loopsâcan be expressed as linear CPUX sequences where execution paths emerge from data state rather than code branching. Our Golang implementation shows complete elimination of orchestration code while maintaining full cognitive traceability. Beyond technical innovation, CPUX addresses a critical social computing crisis: the lack of accountability in distributed social platforms. By creating unique, device-level CPUX footprints for every interaction, our model enables verifiable traceability from device identity through user intention to executed actionârestoring accountability to social computing while preserving privacy. We argue this separation of intent (CPUX) from enforcement (infrastructure) is essential for building LLM-integrated, auditable, and socially responsible distributed systems.Keywords: CPUX, Intention Space, Design Nodes, Cognitive Computing, Data-Driven Execution, Microservices Architecture, Cloud Computing, LLM Integration, Social Computing Accountability__________________________________1.

The protection of sensitive assets through confidentiality, integrity, and accountability in distributed computing environments is one of the most important factors to consider because the threats to cloud infrastructures keep changing. To lessen these issues, the current work proposes a consensus based confidential data orchestration model (CD-COF) that employs demoralized trust enforcement and adapt meter of encryption that is used to bolster the safety of data. As in the suggested approach, every data item will be in a dynamic encryption cycle to integrate lattice-based post-quantum cryptography with the homomorphic encryption algorithm, allowing secure data storage and computation against aspiring cryptanalytic algorithms. The require cipher fragments or data is irreversibly encoded into a distributed registry replicated by cluster of validators in such a way that they result in tamper-proof inspection without revealing the data. To regulate access control, smart contracts authenticate zero-knowledge compliance proofs to ensure that a requester who wishes to gain access without supplying credentials does it. More importantly the ephemeral session tokens generated by verifiable random functions prevent attacks of re-play and collusion and a multi-dimensional trust scoring degree that a-dynamically reallocates access rights to the user, based on his or her usage habits. With the adaptive encryption and immutable anchoring implemented and verifiable access orchestration exploited, the new solution forms a robust and resilient security model in data protection of the decentralized domain of the cloud environment in the future. In it integrated domain of encoding, anchorage with ledgers and trust-based enforcement of access controls, the proposed CD-COF method has a total accuracy of 97 percent in protecting data at the cloud based.
