SEOUL, South Korea, May 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BOScoin (www.boscoin.io, CEO Yezune Choi, BlockchainOS), the first blockchain project from the Republic of Korea, launched the ARIST, a research institute that will engineer and verify platform reliability, scalability, and privacy on the BOScoin mainnet, and appointed Dr. Jonghwan Lee as its Director.

In its whitepaper 2.0, BOScoin set out a clear vision for its future, namely an evolution of Project Financing into Public Financing for a better capitalism - using credit creation thorough participation, impact investment based on voting, and commonization of certain real world assets. In order to implement Public Financing on the blockchain, BOScoin is developing three key technologies and continuing to share visible outcomes with the wider developer community. The following are the key technologies BOScoin is working on to enable Public Financing.

ISAAC Consensus Protocol - A consensus protocol for the BOScoin mainnet, it is based on the mFBA (modified Federated Byzantine Agreement), which brings together the strengths of the SCP (Stellar Consensus Protocol) and the FBA (Federated Byzantine Agreement). This allows data to be safely and efficiently stored on the blockchain. ISAAC is the protocol that will be used on all BOScoin processes and is an acronym of the four steps in the consensus - I nitializing, S igning on, A ccepting, and A ll- C onfirming the process.



is an acronym of the four steps in the consensus - nitializing, igning on, ccepting, and ll- onfirming the process. TRUST Contract - A contract language for Public Financing, it uses OWL (Web Ontology Language) and TAL (Timed Automata Language) technologies to allow ordinary users to easily read and understand the contract. OWL organizes the contract to ensure all relevant parties understand its language, while TAL verifies that all aspects of the contract are accurately processed.



Fully Homomorphic Encryption Based Voting on the Congress Network - The Congress network and the participation of BOScoin holders form a governance system for the Public Financing projects. Public Financing projects initialized on the Congress Network carry information on the purpose of the project, expected returns, project size, price at the point of token creation, amount of allocated tokens, and plans to redistribute to the community. Initialized projects are then signed using the BOScoin fully homomorphic encryption technology. This allows for a fully secret ballot, while preventing Sybil Attacks and ensuring the one-person, one-vote principle is followed.

The BOScoin ARIST (Advanced Research Institute for Social Trust, http://arist.io/), takes on the role of engineering and verifying platform reliability, scalability, and privacy in order to accelerate adoption and commercialization. The institute will hire over twenty mathematics, physics, software engineering, and other experts to research the consensus protocol, trust contracts, privacy technology, and public financing. Located in Daejeon, South Korea, ARIST will also actively cooperate with KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute for Science and Technology). KAIST's Dr. Yongdae Kim's team will cooperate to find systematic weaknesses, Dr. Eun-Kyoung Jee's team will focus on stress-testing the software, and Dr. Kibae Kim's team will focus on verifying the Public Financing model.

Dr. Jonghwan Lee, the newly appointed director of ARIST, obtained a doctoral degree in applied mathematics from KAIST and is an expert on combining mathematics and engineering. He will oversee development and testing of Public Financing architecture and related elements.

Dr. Lee said, "The research institute will verify the system's technology, security and privacy, and reliability and scalability from an engineer's perspective, so that the BOScoin Public Financing blockchain project can be successful." He further stated that, "ARIST will organize horizontally around responsible research teams, and become a world leading community institute capable of independent research."

BOScoin's CEO Yezune Choi said, "ARIST's research will lead to successful commercialization of the BOScoin mainnet, BOSnet." He further explained that "with a clear vision and focus on necessary technologies, we will build a structure that allows both active development and technological verification through the research institute, and drive commercial adoption."

About Boscoin

Republic Of Korea's First Blockchain 'BOScoin' is a Global Currency and Credit Creation Project: BOScoin combines PF (Project Financing), the most libertarian concept, with three alternative solutions - credit creation through participation, democratic impact investments, and commonization of certain assets - to form a new PF (Public Financing) concept to power a better capitalism. In April 2018, Boscoin announced Development of a fully homomorphic encryption solution for electronic voting, which guarantees both anonymity (secret ballot) and equality (one person, one vote). In May 2018, Boscoin announced strategic agreement to launch the first public financing project in November with "Energy7", an O2O (online-to-offline) platform that is an innovator in the petroleum distribution industry. BOScoin is focused on technological developments and business partnerships in order to meet its goals of publicly launching the mainnet in the last quarter of 2018.
