If you are asked what a password is, you will be able to list many scenarios that use passwords, such as mobile phone passwords, payment passwords, boot passwords, etc., in fact, these are not real "passwords", because in addition to the passwords used in confidential communication equipment, others are called passwords.
Today, in addition to information encryption, cryptography is also used for data information signature and security authentication, which means that the application of cryptography is no longer limited to the military, it is also widely used in social and economic activities. Cryptography has become an important support for network and information security, and its role in confirming authenticity and identifying sources is becoming more and more prominent.
On April 15, in order to further promote the implementation of the "Cryptography Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Regulations on the Management of Commercial Cryptography" and enhance the national security awareness of the whole people, under the guidance of the Henan Provincial Cryptography Administration and the Henan Cryptography Association, sponsored by the Zhengzhou Cryptography Administration and the Zhengzhou Municipal Cyberspace Administration of China, and undertaken by Henan Unicom Company and Zhengzhou Unicom Company, the "Cryptography Security into the Organs" activity was held in Henan Provincial Information Square.
The scene of the event
Build a strong line of password security
During the event, Li Chaoyang, director of the Henan Provincial Cryptography Administration, and Fan Miaoyun, president of the Henan Cryptography Association, delivered speeches.
Li Chaoyang pointed out that password security, as the core element of information security, is directly related to the normal development of national security and government affairs, and the importance of password security is becoming more and more prominent in today's rapid development of informatization.
The scene of the event
"Cryptography is an important strategic resource of the country and plays an irreplaceable and important role in safeguarding national security and fundamental interests. Fan Miaoyun pointed out that by holding this "password security into the organs" activity, it is necessary to fully understand the importance of promoting the application of commercial cryptography, deeply grasp the goals and tasks of promoting the application of commercial cryptography, and continuously promote the innovation and development of the commercial cryptography industry.
AI has become the "villain" of cyber security
The event also invited Lu Zhijie, director of the Commercial Secrets Division of the Henan Provincial Cryptography Administration, and Pan Heng, professor of the Institute of Frontier Information Technology of Zhongyuan University of Technology, to give policy presentations and special lectures.
First of all, Lu Zhijie gave a lecture on the types of passwords and password regulations. "Passwords are divided into core passwords, common passwords, and commercial passwords. Core ciphers and common ciphers are used to protect state secret information, with core ciphers protecting information at the top secret level and below, while common ciphers protecting information at the confidential level and below. Lu Zhijie said that commercial passwords are used to protect information that is not a state secret, and citizens, legal persons and other organizations can use commercial passwords to protect network and information security in accordance with the law.
Lu Zhijie said that at present, we are in the era of rapid development of the following information, and the password is more integrated into economic and social development than ever before in history, and is closer to the people's lives. It is fully responsible for vigorously promoting the comprehensive application of commercial cryptography, and making contributions and efforts to safeguard national security, promote economic development, and protect the interests of the people.
Pan Heng, professor of the Institute of Frontier Information Technology of Zhongyuan University of Technology
Pan Heng shared on network security, password security and the use of password security protection in government information systems.
"Passwords are the cornerstone of cybersecurity, and without passwords, the edifice of cybersecurity cannot be built. Pan Heng said that the essence of information security is to ensure the confidentiality of communication content, and password encryption is the only means to ensure communication security. After entering the 80s of the 20th century, the development and popularization of computers and local area networks have promoted information sharing on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has also brought new threats such as remote illegal access and virus spread.
Pan Heng said that there are currently five new cyber security threats, in fact, the more familiar AI is included. "AI threats come first, and using generative AI, such as ChatGPT and other large language models, attackers can carry out attacks at scale with unprecedented speed and sophistication. ”
The event also set up a theme exhibition of "10th Anniversary of the Overall National Security Concept and Innovation Leadership" around the National Security Education Day, the Cryptography Law of the People's Republic of China, and the Regulations on Commercial Cryptography, and broadcast relevant publicity videos on the National Security Education Day, so that national security publicity and education can be further approached to the masses and popularize national security knowledge. At the same time, 22 cryptography companies set up a cryptography exhibition area to fully display the application and transformation of commercial cryptography in the field of government affairs, and help the wide application of commercial cryptography in the field of government affairs.
