Unbound Tech unlocks liquidity and security for proven digital asset management

From time to time, we invite industry thought leaders to share their opinions and insights on current technology trends to the IT Infrastructure blog. The opinions in these blogs are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of IBM.

There are very few scenarios where security is more important than in the world of digital assets. If the key protecting a digital asset is compromised, then it’s game over.

At the same time, trading digital assets will only enter the mainstream when it’s possible to do it quickly and easily. For financial institutions accustomed to making transactions within a fraction of a second, waiting hours or even days for different keyholders to sign off on a digital asset trade is unthinkable.

At , we saw an opportunity. By combining our unique multiparty computation (MPC) software with the built on , we’re bringing unprecedented liquidity and security to digital asset management.

Sizing up the challenge

Unbound is a pioneer in the use of MPC to secure cryptographic keys from every angle, splitting each key into multiple shares that are never united. By distributing trust, we ensure that a breach of any single machine never compromises the integrity of a key.

In the cryptographic world, there’s no such thing as “too secure.” However, we recognized that existing enterprise-class digital asset management solutions are forcing customers to choose between security and agility. What use is the most secure platform in the world if it’s unusable in real life?

We set out to build a new offering that pushes the boundaries of security without limiting liquidity of digital assets.

Creating the Unbound Crypto Asset Security Platform (CASP)

Developed with help from IBM, the Unbound Crypto Asset Security Platform (CASP) solution introduces lucrative benefits for digital assets service providers, including:

• The elimination of any single point of failure across the full digital asset lifecycle. IBM LinuxONE infrastructure offers unique resiliency features such as triple-redundant environmental sensors and Redundant Array of Independent Memory (RAIM) to keep applications running even in the unlikely event of a component failure. IBM LinuxONE , with the mean time between failures (MTBF) measured in decades(!).
• Strict policy enforcement and cryptographic signing support across nearly unlimited asset types (no need for programming multi-sig, smart contracts).
• Insider-resistant, hardened infrastructure for Unbound CASP’s critical software elements. CASP services, key management, vaults, databases, chain connectors, and server-side bots all run within , which are securely booted, protected memory enclaves. These enclaves help assure that administrators and operators do not have even technical access to the applications managing digital assets, such as policy enforcement mechanisms. For example, if an administrator initiates a memory dump, the dump is encrypted and does not include administrative access to the private key.
• Unbound CASP’s code build, signing, and deployment services run within IBM LinuxONE specialized Secure Image Build enclaves. These enclaves help rigidly enforce software review and attestation procedures, to frustrate potential malware, ransomware, and backdoor attackers. These defenses help assure that MPC is properly deployed without human interference. They also help accelerate testing and deployment of legitimate, authorized code updates if there’s ever an application security vulnerability requiring a quick fix. Secure Image Build solves two critical dilemmas: 1) proving the deployed software image is the right one and has not been modified or replaced by a privileged insider, and 2) proving the signed image is what it was supposed to be through the use of the secured source code manifest.
• Exploitation of IBM Crypto Express Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) for the CASP cold backup key and CASP disaster recovery. IBM Crypto Express is one of the only commercially available FIPS 140–2 Level 4 certified HSM, meaning it meets or exceeds the most rigorous standards for tamper protection and response. It enables exceptional business continuity, which is mandatory for enterprise-grade financial institutions.
• Only clients or their trustees control their assets — not Unbound Tech, nor IBM. Clients are issued special IBM smart card HSMs. During a trusted key ceremony, these smart cards collectively generate AES256 bit key parts that are securely transferred to the platform’s HSM and assembled into a master wrapping key inside an isolated HSM domain. Only the client retains control of their master wrapping key. HSM domains are highly isolated and protected by 360-degree envelope tamper detection and response.
• Solutions can be deployed to the , on premises, or in a hybrid deployment, giving institutions and service providers full freedom to decide how and where they’d like to manage their digital asset platforms.

Better together

In partnering with IBM, Unbound achieved a real meeting of minds. IBM demonstrated that they understood our marketplace and our vision.

We participated in a two-day strategy session that helped us home in on what prospective customers are looking for, and how to deliver it to them. The result was a platform that combines our unique software with the IBM Hyper Protect Digital Assets Platform to bring something unmatched to the market, at a surprisingly competitive price point.

By building security into every transaction on the platform, we’re unlocking new liquidity around digital assets. Users don’t have to worry about risk or meeting even the most stringent regulations, as that’s taken care of for them.

Finally, the digital asset market can start reaching its full potential. Alongside IBM, Unbound is offering a platform that means no compromises for customers.

NFL Punish Baker Mayfield For His New Endorsement Deal?

NFL Punish Baker Mayfield For His New Endorsement Deal? | Sports Takes & News

The NFL Players’ Association is worried about a new endorsement deal that Baker Mayfield signed this week. They are so worried that and not sign any similar deals since Mayfield’s new deal is with a company that makes CBD products. The reason being that the endorsement deal may be in violation of the current collective bargaining agreement with the league; leading many to wonder if the NFL will punish Baker Mayfield for signing the deal. The question is, should the NFL even bother?

Baker Mayfield announced last week that he was the , a company that makes cannabidiol (CBD) products. Under the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and its union, players are prohibited from appearing in ads or endorsing companies that sell “alcoholic beverages, tobacco, or cannabinoid products.”

Here’s where this becomes a complex situation for the NFL and the NFLPA: CBD products are made from hemp or marijuana. Most CBD products contain THC, which is what gives its user a sense of being “high,” with marijuana-based CBD items giving a stronger high than those made from hemp, which has a lower THC content.

On Thursday, just two days after Mayfield signed his new deal with Beam public, the union sent out a email to its members that read: “player endorsements of cannabinoid products are not advised by the NFL Players Association,” citing the language in the collective bargaining agreement. Mayfield admitted that he was first concerned about the stigma attached to CBD products, but with Beam, making their CBD products THC-free, the Browns’ signal caller felt comfortable becoming both a user an ambassador for it.

By the end of the week there was no indication that the NFL was investigating Baker Mayfield or that any punishment was forthcoming; that does not mean that the league can’t or won’t render judgement at a later date. Mayfield does join a growing list of players that include DeAndre Hopkins, Ezekiel Elliott, Rob Gronkowski, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Ramsey who are all brand ambassadors for CBD-based product — so perhaps the National Football League has turned the other way to some extent by allowing players to make money and enjoy the reported (but not fully proven) medical benefits such as pain relief that CBD products offer users. And a look at the standings see Baker Mayfield and the Browns at 4–1 heading into week 6, which might be a good indication that the company that he is endorsing is also helping his play on the field.

It does look like the NFL is willing to walk the line between what its players want, and what it needs to do as a business to keep the federal government off its back and out of its business. This is why the rules about CBD products are in the collective bargaining agreement, but the NFL is able to only use it when a player needs protection from himself; otherwise, it appears that the motto “smoke’em if you got’em” might be in effect for NFL players as sports continues to mirror mainstream society, and its acceptance of CBD products.

Noble’s eight takeaways from Manchester City vs Arsenal

Personally, when I watch football, I’m looking for structure in a game, whether a team wants to be defensive, or they want to press, keep possession, or be pragmatic.

We must all see some sort of structure in order to get results. Arsenal looks like a team that isn’t sure of who they are or who they would like to be. We have a lot of deadwood on our side and holes in the team were all not going to be fixed, but we should be playing better football. Even if Arteta wants us to be a defensive team, that’s fine but we should be creating chances and have a certain level of being lethal.

Despite giving us the best start to a Premier League campaign in seven-years (before kick-off last night), there are things the manager can be criticized for.

My eight takeaways

1. The back three which I see as a back five is limiting our attacking intent because last night I would see at least five Arsenal players in the opposition box as opposed to City’s three but just one pass would result in a dangerous shot at goal. Talk about failing to utilize your advantage.

2. The back five results in the midfield being stretched if the ball is not circulating to all parts of the pitch. And the primary role of our central midfielders is to try and win it back only to lose it easily because it’s hard to move the ball around.

3. The wide areas are not giving us much joy either whether it’s keeping and moving the ball, chances created, goals scored or quality crosses into the box.

4. We lacked a presence in the box, should a team with a good center forward struggle with this? Lacazette has struggled at times but despite this, he has scored in three consecutive games and has benched in the last two matches. Aubamayeng’s presence is not being felt at the moment and his goal tally so far is a clear indication that he isn’t being found by his teammates.

5. Ceballos is good with the ball and has an eye for a pass something he needs to be allowed to do more often, but he needs better starting positions in the middle of the park. Ceballos puts in a shift as he wants to win the ball back and start things from deep, however, his ability to do so is limited if the midfield is comprised of Xhaka and himself. We have to win the ball back to play it into dangerous areas, that said we won’t win matches this way with a two men central midfield. So I am grateful for Partey and Arteta must give us the 4–3–3 ASAP!

6. The Martinez aberration has divided opinion and I feel Leno’s efforts will not be appreciated much going forward. He will be blamed for things beyond his reach and sometimes over-glorified when things do go well. It’s going to be tough for Bernd Leno in the court of opinion presided by the Arsenal fans.

7. Most of our team played way below their usual levels and very few deserve special mention after the game, however, I will touch on Gabriel, and Thomas.

In Gabriel Magalhães we are blessed with a good player who won’t hide in games and that’s a good quality to have in a center back. I look forward to watching him progress, is safe to say when you hear opposition fans tell you that you will be lucky to hold onto him in years to come, it’s a massive endorsement of his talent.

Thomas Partey also had decent thirteen minutes, we all know he is a good signing. But his introduction gave me hope that he will adapt well to the Premier League and give us a three men midfield and give us much-needed stability. It’s the wide areas I’m concerned about the most, Nicolas Pepe and Willian must be giving the manager sleepless nights as much as they are giving the fans headaches.

8. BUKAYO SAKA IS SPECIAL. Need I say more?

Arsenal’s next four Premier League games

Leicester (Home)

Manchester United (Away)

Aston Villa (Home)

Leeds (Away)

Looking at our next four games the boys need to find their bounce as they can not afford to drop any more points.

Grow Forest Schools in popularity during distance learning

Stomping through puddles, scrambling over fallen logs and digging in the dirt with sticks may not sound like traditional educational activities, but they are core parts of the curriculum in “forest schools” .

Learning amid the leaves is the hallmark of a forest school, an immersive outdoor education model devoted to the exploration of nature. Forest schools, which have their roots in Scandinavian educational tradition, generally focus on preschool age children. Instead of sitting quietly at their desks, these students build forts in the forest, pick berries fresh from the bush and have story time at the shore.

Surge in number of United Kingdom children applying for free school meals

Poverty campaigners estimate 1 million pupils have recently signed up for first time

There has been a surge in the number of UK children registering for free school meals, with an estimated 1 million pupils recently signing up for the first time, according to food poverty campaigners.

Analysis by the , released as part of footballer Marcus Rashford’s campaign to end child food poverty, estimates that as many as 900,000 more children have sought free school meals, on top of the 1.4 million who were already claiming, as the 2020 world crisis plays havoc with family incomes.

Best From Chicago Writers

To many ways my Wednesday was a typical “hump day.” I did my usual “rise and shine” about 6:00 a.m., got cleaned up, brewed some hot herbal tea, and mentally prepared to tackle a “to-do” list as long as a bride’s wedding gown train!

Worked on clients’ projects; prepared and published my 823rd blog post; struggled with computer glitches; and attempted to navigate my way through new content management system changes imposed by Blogger.

Hours in, I decided to take a much needed break. I kicked back, watched a little of the boob tube and then returned to my computer. At about 12:43 p.m. I received an unexpected email from the President of Chicago Writers Association that read the following:

“Dear Jennifer,

I am writing to you with the news that you have been selected as the recipient of CWA’s Spirit Award for 2020. I nominated you, and the Board unanimously endorsed your selection. We hope you will be able to join us for our virtual Book of the Year ceremony, which will be held via Zoom at 7 pm on Saturday, January 16.

I couldn’t think of a more deserving recipient.”

What? Who? I was elated… temporarily in disbelief! In fact, I had to read the email multiple times before it would fully “sink in.” This is a big deal to me, folks. And I am totally humbled and grateful for this prestigious award.

The SPIRIT AWARD honors individuals in the literary community that demonstrate:

You can read more here:

Past honorees include: a book store owner, the executive director of the Chicago Hall of Fame and a publisher. I’m geeked to be in such highly-regarded company.

This has been a tough year. For all of us. And this recognition certainly has given me reason to smile, keep going, and continue to be rooted in divine faith.

My heartfelt appreciation to Chicago Writers Association (a great group of quality people) and all of you who have supported my journey, followed my blog and cheered me on throughout the years!

… Now I just have to get busy trying to find something black and slimming to wear for that virtual ceremony. It’s rumored that the camera adds 10 lbs.! :-)

Thanks for reading.

5 asteroids buzz by Earth TODAY, as NASA gears up for historic touchdown on asteroid Bennu

With just 73 days left in 2020, NASA has published an alert that not one, but five asteroids are passing by Earth today, as the agency’s Osiris-Rex spacecraft prepares to touch down on a space rock 200 million miles away.

The first three of the day’s five space rocks have mercifully passed the Earth by without incident, according to the Asteroid Watch Widget that tracks asteroids and comets that will make relatively close approaches to our planet.

2020 TJ6, measuring 10m in diameter or roughly half a bowling lane, passed the planet at a blistering speed of 40,824kph, but at a safe distance of 1.2 million km. The asteroid was followed by 2020 UX, the tiniest out of the five, which passed the Earth at 190,000km, and 2020 TD6, with a diameter of 7.4m or half the height of the Hollywood Sign.

Still to come are the 14-meter 2020 UK, with a diameter roughly the length of a semitrailer, which is expected to fly past at 6.2 million km.

Bringing up the rear will be the fastest space rock of the day, the one-meter-wide 2020 TF6, which will shoot by at a speed of 43,200kph, just 153,000km away — well within the range of the Moon which orbits the Earth at an average of 385,000km.

None of these compare with humanity’s own extreme close flyby expected to take place on Tuesday at the Bennu asteroid located over 200 million miles from Earth on that day.

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx will make its first attempt at collecting a sample of the space rock shortly before 2pm ET on Tuesday. The craft is expected to touch down for just a few seconds, long enough for its robotic arm to blast the surface with high pressure gas and vacuum up some of the asteroid’s space dust for analysis back here on Earth.

“We’re cautiously optimistic that this will be the only time we touch the surface,” said Richard Burns, the OSIRIS-REx project manager at NASA’s Goddard Flight Center first on.

5 asteroids buzz by Earth TODAY, as NASA gears up for historic touchdown on asteroid Bennu

With just 73 days left in 2020, NASA has published an alert that not one, but five asteroids are passing by Earth today, as the agency’s Osiris-Rex spacecraft prepares to touch down on a space rock 200 million miles away.

The first three of the day’s five space rocks have mercifully passed the Earth by without incident, according to the Asteroid Watch Widget that tracks asteroids and comets that will make relatively close approaches to our planet.

Ireland to put nation under ‘Europe’s strictest’ quarantine for six weeks amid record daily Covid-19 infections

Dublin has decided to impose a national lockdown for six weeks that has been described by the Irish government itself as the harshest in Europe — all to curb the spread of Covid-19 that has been topping record levels for days.

Under the newly announced measures that are scheduled to come into force starting midnight Wednesday, all non-essential retail stores will be shut down while restaurants and pubs will have to reduce their work to take-away services only.

The people in Ireland would also be barred from traveling more than five kilometers away from their homes. Yet, unlike many other European nations, Ireland does not plan to shut down schools. Essential services such as construction will be exempted from the lockdown as well. As will be hotels — but only if their rooms are rented by people working in any “essential” sectors.

“In the effort to suppress the virus, we’ve already introduced what is probably Europe’s strictest regime,” Prime Minister Micheal Martin said in a televised address on Monday.

The government has decided that the evidence of a potentially grave situation arising in the weeks ahead is now too strong.

The move comes just two weeks after Dublin dismissed a “surprise” call by the nation’s health authorities to introduce the highest — fifth — level of restrictions amid the growing infection numbers.

The nation has already topped its autumn record for daily new Covid-19 cases five times over the last nine days, although the numbers still remain lower that those recorded on April 10 when the infections surpassed 1,500 in a single day, according to Johns Hopkins University.

Ireland is no stranger to harsh measure when it comes to combating the epidemic. Back in spring, it also imposed one of the longest lockdowns in Europe and eased the restrictions at such a low pace that some hospitality venues have barely managed to reopen by the time the rising infection numbers forced the authorities to bring the curbs back.

To help its economy survive the epidemic, Dublin poured additional funds into coronavirus-related jobless payments and wage subsidies. A new budget approved last week involves one of the biggest financial aid packages in the nation’s history, including payments of up to € 5,000 ($5,884.50) per week for affected businesses. Still, the number of people seeking jobless payments has increased by 20 percent over just two weeks and reached 244,153 first on.

Getting started with the Google Analytics 4 Property

In this video, Krista Seiden will take you through an overview of the new Google Analytics 4 property. You’ll learn about some of the exciting new things launching, which makes the Google Analytics 4 property the future.

Meet the next generation of Google Analytics

Learn about the new Google Analytics and how to get started

What’s new

To help you get better ROI from your marketing for the long term, we’re creating a new, more intelligent Google Analytics that builds on the foundation of the App + Web property.

The new Google Analytics is now the default experience for all new properties and is where we’re investing in future improvements.

You can access the new Google Analytics through the Google Analytics 4 property (formerly known as “App + Web properties”) which you can set up alongside your existing Analytics properties. This will allow you to start collecting data and benefit from the latest innovations as they become available while keeping your current implementation intact.

Google Analytics 4 properties were formerly known as “App + Web properties” during the beta period. Google Analytics 4 properties are available for all accounts, and are now the default when you create a new property, whether you plan to use it for a website, an app, or both.

Universal Analytics refers to the previous generation of Analytics. This was the default property type for websites prior to October 14, 2020.

If you use Google Analytics for Firebase for your app

Existing Google Analytics for Firebase customers are recommended to upgrade to Google Analytics 4 properties (formerly known as App + Web properties). When you upgrade to a Google Analytics 4 property, you can take advantage of the latest Analytics innovation and add your website data, without changing your existing Google Analytics for Firebase implementation.

How to structure your Analytics account

Learn how you can structure your Analytics account to measure a business of any size, from a small business with a single website to a large multinational business with multiple apps and websites. Understand how Analytics accounts, properties, and data streams relate to the structure of your company and to your particular reporting needs.

Structure your Analytics account

Small setups

For a business with one website, set up an Analytics account that contains a Google Analytics 4 property with

• 1 web data stream

For a business with one mobile-app game, set up an Analytics account that contains a Google Analytics 4 property with

• 1 app data stream for the Android game
• 1 app data stream for the iOS game
• 1 web data stream for the supporting website if there is one (e.g., marketing site)

Larger setups

To decide on the account structure for a larger business (e.g., multi-national, multi-brand), it’s helpful to ask the following questions.

Account

Think of an account as a collection of properties whose data is owned by a single legal entity and is governed by region-specific.

Is it important that the data from each region is owned by a distinct legal entity within that region?

• Yes. Create multiple accounts, one for each region.
• No. Create one account in the region that houses your company headquarters.

Property

A property represents the data for one logical user base (e.g., users of a single cross-platform application), and is the most granular level at which Analytics processes data. A property is also the level of the Analytics account hierarchy at which you create integrations with other products (e.g., Google Ads).

Is the data you collect related to a single logical user base? When you link Analytics to other products, do you want to share that entire body of data with each product?

• Yes. Create one property.
• No. Create a separate property for each logical user base.

Data stream

A data stream is the source of data from an app or website. A data stream is also the level at which you can control data-collection features via the Firebase SDK or the global site tag.

• App streams: You can have one data stream for each combination of app-package name and platform.
• Web stream: Create a single data stream for your site. Create a single web data stream per property.

Data filters and roll-ups

Do you need to filter data so that you can restrict specific data to specific members of your organization? Do you need to roll up data from multiple properties into a single property?

• Yes. Google Analytics 4 properties do not currently support reporting views or Roll-Up Properties.
• No. You’re all set.

Analyze your Optimize reports

In this video you’ll learn where to find your Optimize reports and how to interpret the results. In a few minutes you’ll be able to make decisions quickly based on how your experience performed.
