The United States never dreamed that the two major cryptographic algorithms they claimed to be the safest and most complex in the world, MD5 and SHA-1, were cracked by Wang Xiaoyun of Our country one after another. To know that md5 was once recognized as the most complex cryptographic algorithm, American experts once said with great confidence that no one would crack it within a hundred years.
This cryptographic algorithm is the cryptographic algorithm that we are widely used in computer security systems, and sha-1 is dozens of times higher than md5 in terms of complexity and confidentiality, and the United States has just begun to test the security of this cryptographic algorithm, and has hired a large number of authoritative experts to calculate, but they have studied for several years without any progress, and finally ended in failure. Because of this, this cryptographic algorithm is also known as the White House cipher, which has become an insurmountable peak in the field of cryptographic algorithms. But talk about a thousand ten thousand or broken, or we Chinese, so Eagle Sauce was really angry after knowing it, and almost didn't want to go over. They didn't believe it was true, but after a series of certifications, they could only admit it, and had to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to recompile it into a new algorithm. To know that in the eyes of the Americans, we Chinese is no great wisdom, the field of scientific research has always known only plagiarism, there is no innovative spirit, for this reason the United States is not less ironic that we Chinese, and Wang Xiaoyun this move not only for the Chinese out of a sullen breath, but also proved to the world that we Chinese real wisdom and strong willpower, but we must not misunderstand one thing, Wang Xiaoyun is not a hacking organization, she is a famous Chinese cryptographer, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, After she discovered the vulnerability of the American cryptographic algorithm, she did not directly attack and steal core secrets like a hacker, but made the news public and allowed the countries using the cryptographic algorithm to immediately fix the vulnerability. But you would never have thought that although Wang Xiaoyun had such high achievements in the field of cryptography algorithms, she was once a genius in physics.
Wang Xiaoyun was born in 1966 in Zhucheng, Shandong, her father is a math teacher, thanks to such a family rendering, Wang Xiaoyun showed a talent and love for numbers when she was young, other girls of the same age like to play with dolls, wear beautiful skirts and the like, and Wang Xiaoyun likes to play with the plan disk, and she is particularly interested in mathematics, in school, as long as the teacher teaches her the algorithm recipe, she can immediately memorize and use it. But despite this, the teacher found that Wang Xiaoyun's overall score was not very good, because she was only interested in mathematics, other subjects she was average, in the middle school examination Wang Xiaoyun still relied on her mathematical advantages to be admitted to the best high school in Zhucheng. In high school, Wang Xiaoyun's mathematical talent is even more brilliant, whenever the school holds a variety of math competitions, then there will be her figure, and she will come out on top every time, teachers and classmates have praised and applauded her, so she is a veritable learning benchmark in school. And you definitely can't imagine how passionate she is about mathematics, when approaching the college entrance examination, the students are preparing for the exam, and Wang Xiaoyun is studying the Olympic number problems, which has to make the teacher have some worries about whether Wang Xiaoyun, who is partial to the subject, will lose, but it turns out that the teacher is really worried. In 1983, 17-year-old Wang Xiaoyun was admitted to the Mathematics Department of Shandong University with excellent results, and she chose the corresponding major, and she was even more tireless in the ocean of knowledge in the university. Although Wang Xiaoyun has excellent grades in college, but she has never been arrogant and lonely, in the dormitory, she talks to her roommates about everything, delicious and delicious are close to the roommates first, so Wang Xiaoyun has also won the extremely high evaluation of the roommates: I think Wang Xiaoyun such a female bully is really too rare, the previous school bully is sitting silently, usually the academic performance is very good, the temper is very strange, but Wang Xiaoyun is approachable, giving people a warm and safe feeling, there is something delicious she will always think of us, We encountered problems in our homework, she always stood up to help us answer, and never complained about anything, meeting a roommate like Wang Xiaoyun is really the biggest wealth in my life. However, after Wang Xiaoyun received such a high evaluation, he did not swell up, but was as helpful as ever to study hard.
As the saying goes, fate will not fail people with hearts, Wang Xiaoyun's hard work and hard work have been fully recognized by the tutor Professor Pan Chengdong, during the teaching period, Professor Pan really likes and appreciates this mathematical wizard with amazing talent, so Professor Pan also gave wang Xiaoyun what he learned without reservation. Slowly, Professor Pan found that Wang Xiaoyun was also very sensitive to the laws between numbers, so Professor Pan began to try to bring Wang Xiaoyun to the road of cryptography research, but did not think that the effect of this test was unexpectedly good, Wang Xiaoyun fully integrated his mathematical talents with cryptography, and just learned for half a year to help the school solve large and small system vulnerabilities. But genius will also have a bad time, although Wang Xiaoyun is extremely talented, but at that time, except for Professor Pan who supported Wang Xiaoyun, everyone else looked down on Wang Xiaoyun, they thought that Wang Xiaoyun was a girl, and the talent of girls in the field of mathematics was not as good as boys, so they all advised her to return to the family after graduating from college, and it was good to be a housewife. And Wang Xiaoyun didn't care at all in the face of sneering, because she absolutely had to fight for the mentor and prove to them that girls can stand up to the sky. People often say that ten years of grinding a sword, Wang Xiaoyun finally ushered in the spring after decades of painstaking research, Wang Xiaoyun, who studied mathematics at Shandong University for ten years, became the first female doctor among Professor Pan's students with his excellent strength. But Wang Xiaoyun was still Wang Xiaoyun after all, although many people looked down on her at that time, but she did not go far away after her doctorate, but chose to stay as a teacher like her mentor. Afterwards, the tutor was also particularly puzzled: you can obviously enter a large company to get a high salary, why should you ask for a teacher? Wang Xiaoyun said: You are my mentor, you not only taught me knowledge, you also taught me to be a person, not you supported me in the first place, where can I have today, so I also want to stay like a mentor to teach and educate people, and cultivate more talents for the country. This remark also impressed the teacher, and finally the teacher agreed to let her stay, and then the excellent Wang Xiaoyun cut through the thorns all the way, and she successively served as a lecturer, associate professor, professor and other positions at Shandong University.
After becoming a professor, Wang Xiaoyun also met his crush, and the two quickly formed a happy family. In 2001, 35-year-old Wang Xiaoyun was pregnant, everyone knows that 35 years old is an elderly mother, the doctor is a thousand instructions to let her pay attention to rest, otherwise it will lead to unpredictable consequences, so Wang Xiaoyun can not go to school to teach during pregnancy, can only have a baby at home. But by chance, so that her mother-to-be can no longer stay idle, one day Wang Xiaoyun's colleagues came to visit her at home, the two chatted and talked about the profession, and inadvertently they talked about the md5 password that no one in the world could crack at that time, and at that time, it was immediately to the next international cryptography seminar, Wang Xiaoyun also learned that at that time, the winners of such conferences were often foreigners, and we China did not get any achievements, so we China also repeatedly hit the wall in this kind of conference. This aroused the interest of this mathematical lover, Wang Xiaoyun thought that if I did, wouldn't it be a fight for China for decades, anyway, idle at home is fine, or I will try it. So during Wang Xiaoyun's home fetal rearing, as soon as there was a gap, she began to study. But as a pregnant woman, he can't use the computer to calculate, so he can only use a pen, a formula a formula calculation, who can think that this test is several years. Soon after, the child was born, but because of the tight time, Wang Xiaoyun's body had just recovered, and he began to study md5 again, and the family could not be persuaded to persuade her, and there was no way but to follow her wishes.
After having a child, Wang Xiaoyun's time is not so sufficient, but in order to be able to decipher at the 2004 US Secret Conference, Wang Xiaoyun had to arrange the time to be full, and every day after putting her daughter to sleep, she got up to work and programmed until late at night. The next day, the daughter was sent to the nursery, and then hurried home to continue to find a new deciphering route, and finally the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, and the md5 that was exaggerated by the United States in 2004 and no one could crack was finally successfully cracked by Wang Xiaoyun. At the world's most authoritative code-breaking event, Wang Xiaoyun announced that he and his team had discovered the loopholes of four internationally famous cryptographic algorithms such as MD5, and as soon as the research results came out, they were shocked, and the audience instantly sounded thunderous applause, during which she interrupted her report countless times. After the meeting, an expert said: I have never seen such a grand event at such a conference, and I am also a player from China, I think this is the most important news I have heard in my career, and I will never underestimate the strength of Chinese again. Wang Xiaoyun also became famous because of this war, many well-known technology companies have thrown olive branches, but they were rejected one by one by Wang Xiaoyun, Wang Xiaoyun said that I never forgot my original heart, I know very well in my heart, everything I do is only for my motherland, I am not for the so-called interests, my motherland has given me everything, then I will do my best to repay her, thank you for your trust, welcome you to China to see and walk, I am willing to do my landlord friendship. I think this is the pride of being a Chinese, Wang Xiaoyun is amazing.
As soon as the news came out, the countries that used this encryption method abandoned this encryption method for fear of important data defendants, and even the United States itself gave up. Originally thought that the matter was over, but no one expected that the United States began to blindly confident again, the relevant departments in the United States publicly stated that although you deciphered MD5, we still have a SHA-1 algorithm that is dozens of times more complex than MD5, even if you give you 100 years, you can't do it this time. Wang Xiaoyun saw that she did not believe in this evil, she immediately began to work or sha-1, who could have imagined, just two months and another heavy news came out, Wang Xiaoyun once again announced that she once again perfectly deciphered the SHA-1 loophole, this news came out, undoubtedly let the US technical department hit the head again, and this is not just a code breaking. Wang Xiaoyun used his own strength to prove that although China was indeed a blank in cryptography before, Since then China has been the leader. What is even more shocking is that in the process of deciphering the code, most of the data was calculated by Wang Xiaoyun with a pen on paper, and did not use computer assistance. To know that these two encryption algorithms are the most difficult in the world, and widely used in global computers, according to the current supercomputer computing, it also takes 1 million years to crack, dare to ask who dares to say that Chinese no, Chinese not smart? However, after Wang Xiaoyun achieved such a high level of achievement, she did not stagnate, but from the discovery of this vulnerability, Wang Xiaoyun re-developed a new password system for the security of the motherland, and the previous loopholes were also covered by her, which also became the strongest cryptographic algorithm in the new world, changing China's status in the world of cryptography. In 2005, the state rewarded her with 7.11 million yuan to encourage her to continue to devote herself to the field of codebreaking in the future, and in July of the same year, Wang Xiaoyun was hired as a Yang Zhenning Chair Professor of the Center for Advanced Study of Tsinghua University, and was selected into the 100 Talents Program of Tsinghua University, and in May 2017, she was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, becoming a leader in China's cipher-breaking community.
In today's developed network, Wang Xiaoyun has solved practical problems for the major needs of national cryptography in the spirit of giving up a small family for everyone, and has played a great role in protecting the security of important national areas and major information systems, and the encryption algorithm it designed has also made important contributions to ensuring aerospace security and communications. It is said that Chinese talents are born, and it is precisely because there are thousands of people like Wang Xiaoyun in China, we in China can be so prosperous and strong, we in China can go to the future, the rise of a great power is not as good as you, thanks to your efforts, we can enjoy this stable network life, remember our national workers, Wang Xiaoyun is a good look. Who said that women are inferior to men, women are the same as the top half of the sky.
