WiMi Hologram Cloud Announced an Identity Management Model Based on Blockchain

Published

on

BEIJING, Aug. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) (“WiMi” or the “Company”), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality (“AR”) Technology provider, today announced that its R&D team delved into the application potential of blockchain in the field of identity management. The decentralized nature of blockchain as an open distributed ledger offers the possibility of constructing a secure, transparent, and tamper-proof trust management system. Using graph theory and blockchain frameworks, the team proposed an abstract identity verification model and successfully mitigated popular cyber-attacks by implanting trust-related information in an encrypted blockchain architecture.

WiMi’s blockchain technology-based identity management model provides a decentralized, tamper-proof distributed ledger through blockchain technology. In the identity management model, the blockchain network acts as a foundation of trust, ensuring that the identities and transaction records of all participants are transparent and trustworthy. Each user has a unique identifier on the blockchain, which is usually associated with the user’s public key. Using cryptography, such as asymmetric encryption, users can securely authenticate themselves and exchange data without having to reveal their private keys.

In addition, smart contracts are automatically executed programs that run on the blockchain and perform tasks according to predefined rules. In the identity management model, smart contracts are used to automate the authentication process, ensuring that only authenticated users can access specific resources or services.

In cloud computing, users may need to operate across different service providers (CSPs). WiMi’s blockchain technology-based identity management model enables trust transfer between different domains by designing a cross-domain authentication process that allows CSPs to participate in trust management as referrers while acting as service providers. Trust factors are the key indicators for assessing user trustworthiness. In the model, there are three main trust factors: user trustworthiness, authentication and satisfaction. User trustworthiness is calculated based on the user’s historical behaviour and transaction records. Authentication is realized through smart contracts and cryptography, and satisfaction is calculated based on the interaction history between the user and the service provider.

The model applies the graph theory in trust networks, which provides a mathematical tool for analyzing and representing nodes (users or service providers) and edges (trust relationships) in a network. By constructing a trust graph, it is possible to more intuitively understand and analyze trust relationships and how they affect the security and efficiency of the overall system.

To improve the security of the system, the model designs multiple mechanisms to mitigate common cyber attacks. For example, through the distributed nature of blockchain, it can withstand denial-of-service attacks. Through cryptography, it can prevent man-in-the-middle attacks, and through ensuring the immutability of data, it can prevent data tampering attacks. WiMi’s research team has conducted a comprehensive security analysis of the proposed model, proving its robustness in the face of common cyber-attacks, such as denial-of-service attacks (DoS), man-in-the-middle attacks ( MITM) and data tampering.

As technology develops and user needs change, the identity management model needs to be continuously optimized and updated. This includes updating the logic of smart contracts, improving trust calculation methods, enhancing the user experience of the user interface, etc. WiMi will continue to optimize the model to adapt to the ever-changing cloud computation and security requirements, bringing revolutionary improvements to data security and trust management in the enterprise.

This innovative achievement of WiMi not only marks an important step for the company in the application of blockchain technology but also provides new ideas and solutions for the security development of the entire cloud computing industry. With the continuous maturity and application of the technology, we have reason to believe that the decentralized trust management system based on blockchain will become an important part of enterprise security.

National Press Club Statement on the withdrawal of subpoenas targeting New York Times journalists

Published

on

By

WASHINGTON, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — National Press Club President Mark Schoeff Jr. released the following statement:

“The Justice Department’s decision to withdraw subpoenas targeting journalists at The New York Times is a welcome and necessary step to protect the public’s constitutional right to an independent press.

These subpoenas should never have been issued in the first place. Compelling journalists to reveal confidential sources sends a chilling message to those who seek to inform the public and threatens the very foundation of press freedom.

Every American should understand what is at stake when the government turns its investigative powers on journalists. It is not routine. It is an extraordinary intrusion that strikes at the heart of the First Amendment and your right to information about your government.

The greatest danger was not the subpoenas themselves, but the message they sent: That sources could be exposed, that whistleblowers should remain silent, and that the American people might know less about the actions of their own government.

A strong democracy depends on a press that can report freely, hold power to account, and inform the public without intimidation.

We urge continued vigilance to ensure that journalists can do their jobs without interference and that protections for source confidentiality are upheld consistently.”

About the National Press Club

Founded in 1908, the National Press Club is the world’s leading professional organization for journalists and a leading voice for press freedom in the U.S. and worldwide.

NCC Launches NCC Connect™ to Put Credit, Fraud, and Compliance Inside the CRM Dealers Already Use

Published

By

A powerful new solution that embeds credit access, fraud detection, and compliance directly into the dealership’s existing CRM — removing the system-switching that slows deals and exposes dealers to risk.

AUSTIN, Texas, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — NCC, a leading provider of credit and compliance solutions for automotive dealerships, today announced the launch of NCC Connect™, a powerful platform that runs credit, fraud, and compliance from inside the CRM a dealership already uses — without friction or duplicate entry.

“Dealers don’t need another system to log into,” said Brian Skutta, President and CEO of NCC. “They need the tools they already have to work better together. NCC Connect puts credit, fraud detection, and compliance right where the team already works — inside the CRM they use every day.”

“Dealers don’t need another system to log into,” said Brian Skutta, President and CEO of NCC. “They need the tools they already have to work better together. NCC Connect puts credit, fraud detection, and compliance right where the team already works — inside the CRM they use every day.”

As deals grow more complex and fraud more sophisticated, dealers are juggling more disconnected systems than ever — the CRM, the credit system, the compliance tools — switching between them on every transaction. Each switch breaks momentum, invites a skipped step, and slows the path to funding. NCC Connect meets this moment with a single, seamless solution that keeps the full credit, fraud, and compliance engine right where the team already works.

Why NCC Connect Matters Right Now

Dealers lose time and margin switching between the CRM, credit, and compliance systems on every dealAuto lending fraud continues to climb, with industry fraud exposure reaching a record $10.4 billion in 2025, according to Point Predictive’s 2026 Auto Lending Fraud Trends ReportState compliance is tightening, with laws like California’s SB 766 (CARS Act) taking effect October 1, 2026Every disconnected step is another chance for an error, a delay, or a deal that stalls before funding

These pressures are forcing dealers to consolidate, and NCC Connect delivers the edge.

Product Highlights:

Inside the CRM — Soft-pull and hard credit access from all three major bureaus — Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax — without leaving the workflowFraud & Identity Built In — Identity verification and synthetic fraud detection delivered within the credit pull, flagging Red Flag conditions before the deal moves to fundingCompliance on Autopilot — FCRA and FTC controls with automatic, audit-ready documentation stored in the deal record99.99% Uptime — The industry’s highest, so the platform is there when a deal is on the desk

NCC Connect runs soft-pull pre-qualifications and hard credit pulls from any bureau or score model without leaving the CRM, while customer data stays inside the existing CRM structure. Every credit, fraud, and compliance result is captured on the deal record — giving dealers a single, audit-ready source of truth and a faster, cleaner path to funding.

NCC Connect extends the same powerful, credit-first engine behind NCC’s Complete Credit™ platform into the CRM where dealers already work. For dealers, that means more approvals, stronger fraud protection, and faster funding, without changing how the team works.
