  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!
