A message from the media
Outrage over the title
This message is about
Wang Xiaoyun, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences
The Story of Cracking America's Top Code
The title element is deliberately attracting attention
Therefore, netizens were angrily scolded-
Eliminate the academician behind
great effort
Similar titles in recent years
Repeatedly cited by some self-media
And what is the truth?
Professor Wang Xiaoyun's process of deciphering the code
It's never "boring confinement"
She is one of the most password-savvy people in China
She dived for 10 years
Cracked the world's recognized two
The safest, most advanced and most widely used
Cryptographic Algorithms These two cryptographic algorithms are
Issued by the American Bureau of Standards and Technology
MD5 and SHA-1
If the conventional algorithm
even calling a military supercomputer
It also takes 1 million years to be able to crack
she mentioned
The time to crack MD5
She is still confinement at home
She often pushes formulas while accompanying her daughter
After putting my daughter to sleep at night
She went to the study to deduce
Often calculating until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night
PhD from Shandong University in 1993
Teaching after graduation
Started trying to crack MD5 and SHA-1 in 1994
By 2004 at the U.S. Secret Conference
Announced to crack 4 algorithms including MD5
During the ten years
Wang Xiaoyun is the one in his own home
on a small desk
After performing tens of thousands of hand-pushing equation calculations and breaking multiple international cryptographic algorithms
She is well known in the cryptography community
U.S. in international call for new hash function standard
The invitation was also sent to her. However, what many people did not expect was that
Wang Xiaoyun gave up this international
Opportunities to advance research
because in her heart
scientists always
Put the responsibility of the country first
Nothing compares to the needs of the motherland
in an interview
Wang Xiaoyun said:
"Women are very successful in research
It turns out that as long as we feel capable
Must do the best
And we can do the best we can.”
On Wang Xiaoyun
Not only female scientists
dazzling brilliance
More belong to Chinese researchers
National mission and responsibility
Salute, like!
