Chapter 15: Catalysts
On Valentine's Day, Yan An took Li Junwei and others to join the company, which had just been established for less than a day, and directly became the core research team.
Yan An serves as the general person in charge of the fully homomorphic encryption algorithm research project, and is responsible for the control of the general direction after joining the company.
In addition to him, Zhu Jingguang and others are no longer simple researchers.
Zhu Jingguang became the leader of the research project of fully homomorphic encryption algorithms for complete mathematical statistics.
Jiang Chen is the leader of the research project on efficient fully homomorphic encryption algorithms.
Ni Chuanjun is a low-ciphertext inflated ......
Everyone was successfully promoted to team leader, and although the project they were responsible for was not as perfect as the "Lantern Festival", it had all aspects.
However, those fully homomorphic encryption algorithms with their own advantages and disadvantages also have their own value, and they cannot be discarded at will.
There's always the right situation where they come in handy.
And keep them - it's easier to contrast with the flawless "Lantern Festival" encryption algorithm.
There is a comparison to increase the price, especially if the market will be monopolized by them, this price will remain high.
The rest of the work is very simple, as long as enough people are organized to devote themselves to the corresponding research, and in the absence of competitors, as long as a little new research results are squeezed out each time, it is enough to cope with the market.
It is worth mentioning that Gao Shenghan was not promoted to be the leader of a research group, he still followed Yan An, and is currently the deputy leader of the "Lantern Festival" encryption algorithm research project, and the direction he once mastered was handed over to a new researcher sent by the Fifth or Sixth Institute.
This kind of processing is not bad, especially after Yan An is about to officially appear in front of the people of the Blue Dome Star World with the algorithm, the number of people he wants to contact will inevitably increase exponentially, and things will increase.
If you want to train another person to be familiar with Yan An, it will be too much of a waste of time, it is better to hand over this job to Gao Shenghan, no matter what, Yan An has no opinion on what he does.
On the day he joined the new company, Yan An gave himself a vacation, and complied with BT's interpersonal communication requirements, and went to the clay restaurant to play in the mud for an hour and a half at the invitation of Senior Sister Liu Xi, and ate grilled fish after the meal.
"I'll give it to you when the cup is ready."
As usual, the two are separated after dinner, Yan An has never had the habit of taking a walk after dinner to eat, let alone walking with others, and it will be unbearable to think that there must be an uninterrupted dialogue on the way.
Liu Xi waved at Yan An with some regret and had to accept it.
The cup she said was the one that the two of them pinched in the clay hall, compared to her ingenuity, Yan An's performance in handiwork was a mess, and the walls of the cup were uneven, and if she didn't help, it would almost be useless.
After that, as long as she waits for a week or so, the owner of the clay hall will help her burn the cup and wait to pick up the finished product.
Yan An naturally doesn't have so much time to care about a "defective" cup, that is, the senior sister will be so attentive to what he makes.
"Then it's settled." He beckoned, one of the few goodbye gestures after the meal.
Probably the people in the agency also knew that it was Valentine's Day, and even the speed of work slowed down, and it was not until February 15 that everyone began to get busy.
The site of the new company is located in Nandu, due to the rush of time, they can only get an office building in advance, two or three decoration teams settled in together, and the rumbling decoration work began on the same day.
About half a month later, a message swept the world.
After several years of hard work, Zhu Chiyi's research unit successfully created an effective RSA search algorithm for cracking the RSA encryption algorithm.
This algorithm has been shown to crack 1024-bit RSA keys in about six hours.
Now, Zhu Chi has officially announced that the 1024-bit RSA key has been conquered! ”
News like this became a hot topic in March, and the news it brought was so shocking and unexpected, that the whole intelligence organization's face turned green when Huang Weiguo heard the news.
Isn't it said that there are at least three years left before the 1024-bit RSA key is cracked? Why did it suddenly advance, when did Zhu Chi become so powerful in this regard?
There is no need to doubt the truth of this news, because it is a report from Zhu Chi's official media.
According to the analysis of Huang Weiguo's think tank, if Zhu Chi officially said that there was something in this matter, then they had better believe that he really did.
There was no room for them to doubt, Zhu Chi was unexpectedly generous, and even the basic principles of the algorithm were announced, but the most critical tool library was hidden from it.
At this time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Huang Wei finally knew why the "elites" who had been in Zhu Chi had not contacted them recently.
In fact, their activities were exposed, and the consequence of betting that the 1024-bit RSA key would not be cracked so quickly was that it failed, and their intelligence system was completely exposed in front of Zhu Chi.
Although Zhu Chifang has not made any public statements about their small actions so far, the actions have confirmed that all their plans have been aborted.
"Damn the guy who offered to say that he didn't have to change the key at a higher level! I'm going to have to get that guy to give an account! Murakamiyama, the intelligence chief in charge of information security, cursed viciously in his heart.
immediately reacted, that was already the matter of the previous intelligence chief, and the other party is now retired.
That's okay, let's think about how to save ourselves.
As he was thinking this, there was a knock on the office door, "Murakami-kun, someone from the business strategy department is looking for you." ”
The business strategy department is the department that provides management and marketing strategies for the business economy of the Yellow Kingdom, and they are particularly sensitive to the smell of money, and their reaction speed is much faster than other departments.
"I see." I coped with it irritably, and walked to the conference room where the business strategy department was entertained.
As soon as he opened the door, he took a deep breath and stepped into it with small steps, everything was muscle memory, "Red bean puree private Marseille!" ”
……
Huang Weiguo's reaction was the largest and least surprising in the whole of the Blue Dome.
Who told them that they always like to gamble, and not to gamble with their own things, they prefer to bet on the fortunes of a country than to lose their own things.
In this way, even if the gamble is lost, there is no loss for the gamblers who have already made a lot of money.
The only people who take the risk are the ordinary people of the Yellow Kingdom who no one cares about.
In addition to their country, there are few countries whose strategic departments will do this, and the worst they use is the 2048-bit key, and the cracking of the 1024-bit key has no direct loss except for giving countries a little more urgency.
However, the emergence of RSA's effective search algorithm has attracted the attention of the Regent States, who have always liked to prevent problems before they happen, and at this point have even reached the point of neuroticism.
This algorithm made them realize that even 4096-bit keys are not absolutely secure, and that the research on quantum-resistant cryptography must be accelerated and its use should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
The entire Blue Dome has increased its research investment in the fight against quantum cryptography because of this news.
