"Our clients' success is our success": 10 Questions with FORE Enterprise Founder & CEO

**ZUG, Switzerland, October 17th, 2024/Chainwire/--**Most zero-knowledge proofs are generated server-side for scaling, but Aleph Zero’s zkOS does that directly on users’ devices, offering privacy in a fraction of second. Aleph Zero, the leading blockchain platform recognized for its focus on privacy and scalability, announces the launch of the first feature of zkOS (zero-knowledge operating system)—Shielding, on its EVM Testnet. This release marks the first opportunity for users to experience the shielding feature of zkOS in action, demonstrating the speed and privacy capabilities of Aleph Zero’s zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology optimizations. Privacy at Lightning Speed The Shielding Demo release is a significant milestone for Aleph Zero, representing its commitment to developing practical privacy solutions for the blockchain industry. Aleph Zero’s zkOS enables zero-knowledge proofs to be generated client-side—meaning data is encrypted locally on the user’s device and never leaves unencrypted—providing high levels of privacy without compromising transaction speed. The Shielding Demo serves as the first practical interface for users to experience this privacy functionality, with zero-knowledge proofs generated within 0.5-3 seconds, ensuring that privacy has minimal impact on transaction performance. “Privacy has long been a challenge in blockchain, often due to poor user experience,” said Adam Gagol, Co-Founder & CTO of Aleph Zero. “With today’s release, we’re delivering one of the fastest client-side ZK directly to users, combining privacy and performance. The release of the Shielding Demo offers a glimpse into how zkOS can bring privacy to DeFi without sacrificing speed or usability.” How the Shielding Demo Works The Shielding Demo provides an intuitive interface for users to test Aleph Zero’s zkOS privacy layer. Here’s how it works: Data Privacy: zkOS generates zero-knowledge proofs locally on the user’s device, ensuring that data remains private and secure.
Transaction Flow: Users generate ZK proofs, send transactions to a relayer, and then they are executed on-chain—all while maintaining privacy.
Fast Proving Times: The system delivers ZK proofs in 0.5-3 seconds on most devices, demonstrating zkOS’s speed and its minimal impact on transaction times. The Testnet version of zkOS allows users to interact with the system and witness its capabilities, though Aleph Zero notes that the privacy features will be built directly into the upcoming Common app. Why zkOS Matters: A Glimpse Into the Future The launch of the Shielding Demo on Testnet is only the beginning. Aleph Zero's roadmap for zkOS extends far beyond this initial release, with ongoing work on simplifying the user experience and the introduction of additional privacy features, such as ZK-ID and anonymity revokers, to ensure both privacy and protection against fraudulent use of the platform. The system is designed to be easily integrated by developers, providing a privacy framework that requires minimal cryptographic knowledge. This simplicity, combined with Aleph Zero’s rapid client-side ZK proof generation, makes zkOS a critical tool for developers building privacy-centric applications across DeFi and other web3 sectors. Unlocking Privacy for New Use Case The privacy space in blockchain has been facing increased challenges, such as regulatory scrutiny and delistings, often due to concerns over non-compliance. Aleph Zero’s zkOS offers a fresh approach by delivering privacy solutions that balance user confidentiality with regulatory requirements. Instead of focusing solely on anonymity, zkOS is designed to meet both the needs of users and the evolving demands of compliance. zkOS enables users to manage their assets securely across multiple blockchains, ensuring their transactions remain private. Unlike traditional privacy methods that rely on centralized or hardware-based systems, zkOS operates directly on the client-side, safeguarding privacy without external dependencies. Next Steps for Aleph Zero As the Testnet release progresses, Aleph Zero is focusing on refining Shielding and zkOS for its Mainnet deployment. Users who engage with the Shielding Demo will have the opportunity to be whitelisted for upcoming zkOS Beta testing on Aleph Zero’s EVM Mainnet. About Aleph Zero Aleph Zero is an ecosystem of blockchain solutions that are engineered for speed, data confidentiality, and ease of development. It achieves efficiencies akin to conventional web2 systems, upholds rigorous standards for data protection via zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP), and offers a comprehensive toolset for development across web3, ranging from WASM-based Rust to EVM-based Solidity environments. Aleph Zero’s versatility is highlighted by over 40 use cases being actively developed, showcasing its adaptability across various sectors and applications. These use cases are part of an engaged community and growing ecosystem of web3 applications supported by Aleph Zero programs. For more information, visit https://alephzero.org/.

This post is part of a series comparing different ways to implement asynchronous requests on the client to augment the latter. So far, I described the process with Vue.js and Alpine.js. Both are similar from the developers' point of view: they involve JavaScript. In this post, I'll focus on HTMX, whose approach is quite different. Laying out the work I'll follow the same structure as in the previous posts of the series. Here's the setup, server- and client-side. Server-side Here is how I integrate Thymeleaf and HTMX in the POM: <dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>            
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId>      
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.webjars</groupId>
        <artifactId>webjars-locator</artifactId>                    
        <version>0.52</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.webjars.npm</groupId>
        <artifactId>htmx.org</artifactId>                           
        <version>2.0.1</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies> Same as with previous frameworks
The HTMX dependency Client-side The code on the HTML side is straightforward: <script th:src="@{/webjars/htmx.org/dist/htmx.js}" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/htmx.org@1.9/dist/htmx.min.js"></script>  Add the HTMX dependency Working with HTMX We want to implement the same features as previously. HTMX implements a radical approach that is different from traditional AJAX frameworks. They force you to develop an HTTP API that accepts and returns JSON. With HTMX, you return HTML fragments instead. HTMX uses it to replace the DOM elements that you configured. Hence, you need to write neither JavaScript nor deal with JSON and serialization of entities. Designing the fragments HTMX nicely complements Thymeleaf because both work with page fragments. We can align Thymeleaf's fragments to HTMX's responses. It requires thinking ahead, which differs from the previous AJAX/API/JSON standard, but it's worth it. Let's list interactions and what fragment we replace for each of them: Load the page: the whole page is rendered server-side, it's not asynchronous
Click the completed checkbox on a line: the line is replaced with the underlying todo's new state. We didn't do anything client-side with previous frameworks; we will ignore it as well.
Clean up completed tasks: replace the todo table's lines with lines of uncompleted tasks
Add a new todo: replace the table with all lines plus the new one and replace the label field with an empty field to reset it. The Add field and button were in the table's footer in previous designs. There's no reason to change this. Here's the conceptual fragments design for our app: -------------------- APP --------------------
| index.html                                |
|                                           |
|  ---------------- TABLE ----------------  |
|  | table.html                          |  |
|  |                                     |  |
|  |  ------------- LINES -------------  |  |
|  |  | lines.html                    |  |  |
|  |  |                               |  |  |
|  |  ---------------------------------  |  |
|  ---------------------------------------  |
--------------------------------------------- I'll split the HTML page into these fragments. Because we render them via Thymeleaf, we can split each into their dedicated file for a cleaner separation. At initial load time, we use Thymeleaf's replace directive; we use HTMX for asynchronous client-side interactions. Our first interaction We will start with the cleanup feature, as it's the easiest one with HTMX. Here's the HTML code: <tbody id="lines">...</tbody>                                       

<button class="btn btn-warning"
        hx-trigger="click"                                          
        hx-delete="/htmx/todo:cleanup"                              
        hx-target="#lines">                                         
    Cleanup
</button> Define the lines DOM element
HTMX triggers on the click event
HTMX will send a DELETE HTTP request to the URL
When the HTML fragment response comes back, HTMX replaces the lines DOM element with it Note that there's no explicit JavaScript involved, not a single line of code. HTMX takes care of it. On the server side, the code is the following: fun htmx(todos: MutableList<Todo>) = router {
    DELETE("/htmx/todo:cleanup") {
        todos.removeIf { it.completed }                             //1
        ok().render("htmx/lines", mapOf("todos" to todos))          //2
    }
} Regular cleanup
Use the render() function, instead of body() for API calls. Because of our previous file split, we can render only the needed HTML fragment. It uses Thymeleaf for any necessary server-side rendering. That's the heart of HTMX: bind an HTTP call to a client-side event, and replace the configured DOM element with the server response. Adding a new todo follows the same principle, but the DOM element is the whole table to reset the label value. If interested in the complete, look at the code. Marking a todo complete While I mentioned that we will not return anything from the check request, it presents an exciting challenge. That's the reason why I am only addressing it now. We have two challenges when clicking on the checkbox: send the state of the checkbox as the JSON payload to update it server-side
get and use the ID of the todo HTMX offers the hx-vals for the JSON payload. However, the URL is different for each row as we want to include the ID in the path. We must generate it server-side with Thymeleaf. TIL: Thymeleaf can manage any HTML attribute prefixed with th:: it will process the value as usual and write the attribute's name unprefixed. <input type="checkbox"
       th:checked="${todo.completed}"                               
       hx-trigger="click"                                           
       th:hx-patch="'/htmx/todo/' + ${todo.id}"                     
       hx-vals='js:{"checked": event.target.checked}' />             Regular Thymeleaf syntax to check the box if the todo is completed
HTMX triggers on click events
Send a PATCH request to the server, with Thymeleaf having replaced the id with the value in the HTML previously
Static request JSON payload Note that, as explained above, I ignored the response. In a real-world scenario, you should check/uncheck the checkbox depending on the value returned to avoid keeping the server state and the UI in synch. Conclusion In the two previous posts, I described Vue and Alpine. We configured Spring Boot to return JSON. With HTMX, we configured it to return HTML. Additionally, we didn't need any JavaScript code to send the requests from the client. Icing on the cake, there's a great synergy between Thymeleaf and HTMX: we can split the page into fragments and reuse them on both sides.

It requires thinking ahead, which differs from the previous AJAX/API/JSON standard, but it's worth it. Let's list interactions and what fragment we replace for each of them: Load the page: the whole page is rendered server-side, it's not asynchronous Click the completed checkbox on a line: the line is replaced with the underlying todo's new state. We didn't do anything client-side with previous frameworks; we will ignore it as well. Clean up completed tasks: replace the todo table's lines with lines of uncompleted tasks Add a new todo: replace the table with all lines plus the new one and replace the label field with an empty field to reset it. The Add field and button were in the table's footer in previous designs. There's no reason to change this.

Here's the conceptual fragments design for our app: -------------------- APP --------------------

--------------------------------------------- I'll split the HTML page into these fragments. Because we render them via Thymeleaf, we can split each into their dedicated file for a cleaner separation. At initial load time, we use Thymeleaf's replace directive; we use HTMX for asynchronous client-side interactions. replace Our first interaction We will start with the cleanup feature, as it's the easiest one with HTMX. Here's the HTML code: <tbody id="lines">...</tbody>                                       

<button class="btn btn-warning"
        hx-trigger="click"                                          
        hx-delete="/htmx/todo:cleanup"                              
        hx-target="#lines">                                         
    Cleanup
</button> <tbody id="lines">...</tbody>                                       

<button class="btn btn-warning"
        hx-trigger="click"                                          
        hx-delete="/htmx/todo:cleanup"                              
        hx-target="#lines">                                         
    Cleanup
</button> Define the lines DOM element HTMX triggers on the click event HTMX will send a DELETE HTTP request to the URL When the HTML fragment response comes back, HTMX replaces the lines DOM element with it Define the lines DOM element lines HTMX triggers on the click event click HTMX will send a DELETE HTTP request to the URL DELETE When the HTML fragment response comes back, HTMX replaces the lines DOM element with it lines Note that there's no explicit JavaScript involved, not a single line of code. HTMX takes care of it. no explicit JavaScript On the server side, the code is the following: fun htmx(todos: MutableList<Todo>) = router {
    DELETE("/htmx/todo:cleanup") {
        todos.removeIf { it.completed }                             //1
        ok().render("htmx/lines", mapOf("todos" to todos))          //2
    }
} fun htmx(todos: MutableList<Todo>) = router {
    DELETE("/htmx/todo:cleanup") {
        todos.removeIf { it.completed }                             //1
        ok().render("htmx/lines", mapOf("todos" to todos))          //2
    }
} Regular cleanup Use the render() function, instead of body() for API calls. Because of our previous file split, we can render only the needed HTML fragment. It uses Thymeleaf for any necessary server-side rendering. Regular cleanup Use the render() function, instead of body() for API calls. Because of our previous file split, we can render only the needed HTML fragment. It uses Thymeleaf for any necessary server-side rendering. render() body() That's the heart of HTMX: bind an HTTP call to a client-side event, and replace the configured DOM element with the server response. Adding a new todo follows the same principle, but the DOM element is the whole table to reset the label value. If interested in the complete, look at the code . label the code Marking a todo complete While I mentioned that we will not return anything from the check request, it presents an exciting challenge. That's the reason why I am only addressing it now. We have two challenges when clicking on the checkbox: send the state of the checkbox as the JSON payload to update it server-side get and use the ID of the todo send the state of the checkbox as the JSON payload to update it server-side get and use the ID of the todo todo HTMX offers the hx-vals for the JSON payload. However, the URL is different for each row as we want to include the ID in the path. We must generate it server-side with Thymeleaf. TIL: Thymeleaf can manage any HTML attribute prefixed with th: : it will process the value as usual and write the attribute's name unprefixed. hx-vals any th: <input type="checkbox"
       th:checked="${todo.completed}"                               
       hx-trigger="click"                                           
       th:hx-patch="'/htmx/todo/' + ${todo.id}"                     
       hx-vals='js:{"checked": event.target.checked}' />             <input type="checkbox"
       th:checked="${todo.completed}"                               
       hx-trigger="click"                                           
       th:hx-patch="'/htmx/todo/' + ${todo.id}"                     
       hx-vals='js:{"checked": event.target.checked}' />             Regular Thymeleaf syntax to check the box if the todo is completed HTMX triggers on click events Send a PATCH request to the server, with Thymeleaf having replaced the id with the value in the HTML previously Static request JSON payload Regular Thymeleaf syntax to check the box if the todo is completed todo HTMX triggers on click events click Send a PATCH request to the server, with Thymeleaf having replaced the id with the value in the HTML previously PATCH id Static request JSON payload Note that, as explained above, I ignored the response. In a real-world scenario, you should check/uncheck the checkbox depending on the value returned to avoid keeping the server state and the UI in synch. Conclusion In the two previous posts, I described Vue and Alpine. We configured Spring Boot to return JSON. With HTMX, we configured it to return HTML. Additionally, we didn't need any JavaScript code to send the requests from the client. Icing on the cake, there's a great synergy between Thymeleaf and HTMX: we can split the page into fragments and reuse them on both sides.

Augmenting the Client With HTMX

This post is part of a series comparing different ways to implement asynchronous requests on the client, which is colloquially known as AJAX. I dedicated the previous post to Vue.js; I'll dedicate this one to Alpine.js - not to be confused with Alpine Linux. I'll follow the same structure as previously. Laying out the work Here's the setup, server- and client-side. Server-side Here is how I integrate Thymeleaf and Alpine.js in the POM: <dependencies>

Alpine itself
Our client-side code
Set the data As for the POM, it's the same code for Alpine as for Vue. The Alpine code We want to implement the same features as for Vue. Our first steps into Alpine The first step is to bootstrap the framework. We already added the link to our custom alpine.js file above. document.addEventListener('alpine:init', () => {                    //1
    Alpine.data('app', () => ({                                     //2
        // The next JavaScript code snippets will be inside the block
    }))
}) Run the block when the alpine:init event is triggered; the triggering event is specific to Alpine.
Bootstrap Alpine and configure it to manage the HTML fragment identified by app We now set the app id on the HTML side. <div id="app">
</div> Until now, it's very similar to Vue.js, a straight one-to-one mapping. Unlike Vue.js, Alpine doesn't seem to have templates. The official UI components are not free. I found an Open Source approach, but it's unavailable on WebJars. Basic interactions Let's implement the check of the complete checkbox. Here's the HTML code: <input type="checkbox" :checked="todo.completed" @click="check(todo.id)"> 
<input type="checkbox" :checked="todo.completed" @click="check" />   Alpine code
Vue code The code is very similar, with the difference that Alpine allows passing parameters. On the Javascript side, we must define the function, and that's all: Alpine.data('app', () => ({
    check(id) {
        axios.patch(`/api/todo/${id}`, {checked: event.target.checked})
    }
})) Client-side model You might wonder where the todo above comes from. The answer is: from the local model. We initialize it in the app or to be more precise, we initialize the list: Alpine.data('app', () => ({
    title: window.alpineData.title,                                 //1
    todos: window.alpineData.todos,                                 //2
})) Initialize the title even if it's read-only
Initialize the todos list; at this point, it's read-only but we are going to update it the next section Updating the model In this section, we will implement adding a new Todo. Here's the HTML snippet: <form>
    <div class="form-group row">
        <label for="new-todo-label" class="col-auto col-form-label">New task</label>
        <div class="col-10">
            <input type="text" id="new-todo-label" placeholder="Label" class="form-control" x-model="label" /> 
        </div>
        <div class="col-auto">
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-success" @click="create()">Add</button> 
        </div>
    </div>
</form> The x-model defines a model and binds the label property defined in app
Define the behavior of the button, as in the previous section The related code is the following: Alpine.data('app', () => ({
    label: '',                                                      //1
    create() {
        axios.post('/api/todo', {label: this.label}).then(response => { //2
            this.todos.push(response.data)                          //3
        }).then(() => {
            this.label = ''                                         //4
        })
    }
})) Define a new label property
Send a POST request with the label value as the JSON payload
Get the response payload and add it to the local model of Todo
Reset the label value Conclusion Alpine is very similar to Vue, with the notable difference of the lack of templating; components are only available via a price. All other features have an equivalent. I may need to be corrected because the documentation is less extensive. Also, Vue is much more popular than Alpine.

All other features have an equivalent. I may need to be corrected because the documentation is less extensive. Also, Vue is much more popular than Alpine.

Augmenting the Client With Alpine.js

Cybersecurity threats are evolving at an alarming rate. From sophisticated malware to state-sponsored attacks, businesses worldwide face a battle as they attempt to safeguard their data. According to a report by Cybersecurity Ventures, the cost of cybercrime reached $8 trillion in 2023 alone and is projected to rise to $10.5 trillion by 2025. Businesses need robust security measures and future-proof strategies to prevent time consuming and costly security breaches. Unfortunately, attackers can exploit vulnerabilities from any point within a system. From the base hardware level to man-in-the-middle attacks and even social engineering, organisations still need a sufficiently intelligent threat prevention protocol. Security vendor bottlenecks leave them vulnerable to weaknesses. In these instances, businesses are over-reliant on a single solution or provider. Brander Group, a leading IT and network infrastructure consulting firm, tackles this issue with its vendor-neutral methodology. Offering a variety of network security & vulnerabilities solutions, Brander Group protects clients with multiple layers of redundancy so their network is avoids being at risk with a single point of failure. The Rising Tide of Network Security Threats In recent years, there has been a dramatic surge in sophisticated cyber attacks, with malware, ransomware, and advanced persistent threats (APTs) becoming increasingly prevalent. "The cybersecurity world has evolved at a dangerous pace," says Jake Brander, founder and CEO of Brander Group. "What worked yesterday may be obsolete today. That's why a flexible, vendor-neutral strategy is critical for long-term security." Vendor-Neutral Strategy: A Shield Against Vulnerabilities Brander Group specialises in vendor-neutral methods which are integral to protecting our clients. The company offers a diverse array of services & solutions, made possible by its partnerships with over 600 service providers globally. Brander Group provides each client with multiple options, fully managed deployments and support custom-tailored to their individual requirements and architectures. This strategy allows businesses to avoid the dangers of vendor lock-in, where dependence on a single provider can make it difficult to quickly adapt to new threats. Instead, Brander Group's clients benefit from a best-of-breed strategy, combining services from multiple providers to create a stronger security posture. "The idea isn’t just to avoid lock-ins. It's about creating a security ecosystem greater than the sum of its parts. We can mix and match solutions that are designed specifically for each client's needs," Brander explains. Brander Group's Expertise: The Human Element in Cybersecurity While the vendor-neutral strategy provides the framework, Brander Group's team of experts brings it to life. The company's provider-neutral engineers and consultants possess a deep understanding across a wide range of security protocols, allowing them to effectively and accurately wield each solution. "Technology is only as effective as the people implementing it. Moreover, the people implementing it must understand what is needed to effectively deliver each solution ." states Brander. Impenetrability Through Neutrality Brander Group’s services extend beyond simple security provision and implementation. Its team works closely with vendors and clients to develop comprehensive security strategies, conduct regular assessments, and provide ongoing support and training. With any system or device susceptible to several types of new age attacks, businesses worldwide are increasingly understanding the value of having a vendor-neutral network strategy. As Jake Brander aptly puts it, “There is no such thing as a truly secure system. But, with multiple layers of security, we can make it virtually impossible for any one security hole to be exploited. This is the true advantage of working with Brander Group – impenetrability through neutrality.” This piece was published as part of HackerNoon’s Business Blogging Program.
