SHA-3 encryption

Those who have watched the video we released last week may have noticed a revealing of a few new specifications for RISE 2.0 (the new code base currently under development).  We already discussed the maximum TPS last week. Today I'd like to highlight another aspect that was mentioned in the video namely the changes on the cryptography side of things.

Lisk uses SHA-256, which is a 256-bit version of SHA-2. Instead of staying with SHA-2, we are jumping to the current NIST standard instead. There isn't anything technically "wrong" with SHA-2, other than that it is designed very similarly to SHA-1, which is susceptible to numerous technical flaws. SHA-2 doesn't appear to be susceptible to the same flaws, however, much research over the past 10 years has been devoted to building SHA-3, instead of proofing SHA-2, so its holes may just not be known.

So the benefit for RISE to go with SHA-3 is a potentially more secure platform. Another advantage of SHA-3 is that the message size is unlimited as compared to the 2^64 - 1 bits in SHA-2. Ofcourse 2^64 -1 bits is a LOT of data but there are scenarios in which this may be exceeded on our platform and where SHA-3's unlimited message size could become a benefit. Our developers are still busy engineering parts of the Rise architecture so I can't give much more on the specifics of this for now, but I'll continue to update you as development is moving forward.

RISE is on the way to rise solid development ongoing that sounds to hear about new code base under development. These signs are showing dev are on implement to interesting features.

Hi henryzzit, thanks for letting us know about that project. I'll take a look.

How long has this new build been underway?

[McVenture]

How long has this new build been underway?

Hey imbladednow, the new build started about a month ago (see Github). The lion share of that time till now is used to design the new architecture, which is still in part under development. Some of that time was spent building DB validations and schema as well as code preparations for using Meteor as our framework of choice. More details to be found in the updated whitepaper and more technical specs will be revealed later on.

Live Youtube Video Stream Q & A with the RISE Development Team?

We would like to change our scheduled Slack chat Q&A with the Rise Developers on December 22nd to a Live Video Q&A instead. We believe this would add more value to the experience for our community and it's a lot more up close and personal.

Here's the catch though; for this to happen we will need to receive sufficient interest from the community. We haven't received any questions for the Q&A yet at this point in time so we are looking to receive at least 15 interesting questions from the RISE community by December 21st, a day before the session. Of course we hope for more than 15 good ones. The questions need to be on topic (related to the Rise platform) and please try to avoid simple yes/no questions, because we want to fill up an hour of informative and productive discussion.

Questions can be submitted here: http://forum.rise.vision/topic/70/december-22-2016-event-live-slack-q-a-with-rise-developers

Thanks!

Great to see finally some communication here.  The only question is, where the hell have you been in the past 6 months?

Maybe they spent too much money on fun, eating. They got much fund from dpos, and 1700 btc, but did nothing

dont forget to attend the Q&A event

they never go anywhere, they are always here, there is less communication because there is less questions, you can browse back few pagess
join the slack chat https://www.mystellar.org/thread-244-post-974.html#pid974

i believe in the future dev will be more interactive and be friends

Great to see progress going on for Rise. Can't wait to see the updated whitepaper and what that has to intel. Rise is moving forward especially before the New Year  which is good news more to look forward to in 2017

This is one of the best failed coin in 2016, thank god I missed the ICO

[lucky80]

I am asking again lol .... Rise ...why you wont rise... lol.... c'mon rise already

it already rose to 1k few months ago and now fall like bird drops

Rise friends, we've received the first batch of questions for the Rise Development Team Q & A Event. As you know we want to hold the event as a live Youtube video stream straight from the Developers office, instead of Slack chat which we previously announced. Keep those questions coming so we can fill an hour worth of informative video. Below are the questions we received from the Rise community so far. Looking forward to see some more good ones. Thanks all!


LIVE VIDEO Q & A EVENT
questions submitted so far
 
A lot of crypto networks experience DDOS attacks, what process do we have to stop this from happening?

Does Rise believe they have tested all areas of security of the Blockchain/code base?

I know that some companies conduct Security Audits, is that something we intend to do as well? I remember Ethereum the first DAO was a security contract that the users declined and then they had the DAO attack.

Are we still expecting a Road Map – what is still outstanding?

Have you completed or when do you expect to complete the Rise Code base as we have ditched LISK?

Regarding Delegate system: how is the testing going with the 15 testers, is the Test net performing as expected up and running?

Have you been contacted by any developers waiting to use Rise to write DApps?

Regarding TPS: what was tested and has the new Rise code base been tested for maximum consistent TPS without forking?

When will “Don’t Panic” be contracted to start Marketing Rise?

When will you consider doing a piece via Blocktalk or any other Live Interviews?

Are any other Startups looking at our code for them to copy/mirror?

Do you believe you have all the skill sets needed in the current resources profile of the Devs?

I believe our Inflation rate will end at around 140 million, thereafter is it transaction fees that will support the network?

Where do you see Rise in 5 years time ( You're allowed to dream)?

Will you ever have a Live community meeting/Event around the world like Steem/Ethereum etc etc?

No thank you, I will not be wasting my time watching you, good bye

[yhlsqj]

I am asking again lol .... Rise ...why you wont rise... lol.... c'mon rise already

Crypto market is a hype and faith market, rise ico made all investors miserable and sad, they would never trust rise again, unless they made great product, and attract new investors, or this coin is done, I mean dead already

[Sincere_]

I believe if Rise can make a good product it would revamp Rise and that will sure get people flocking to Rise. Hope u guys have something nice in store for 2017

For those who would rather interact with our developers directly we are offering the live Youtube Q & A Event coming up on December 22nd.
