From university academician to chief academician

Chang'an University of Electronic Science and Technology Information Resources Research Center, in the office!

Ye Fei and Cheng Jian are sitting here, and they want to discuss the division of labor.

Cheng Jian said: "I heard that you advocate using SM2 and SM4 to study cryptographic algorithms, right?"

"Yes!" Ye Feidao: "If you have any good ideas, you can mention them."

Cheng Jian said: "I don't have any good ideas. Based on the proposals of SM2 and SM4, I think they are pretty good."

"I heard Academician Nan Guodong say that you proposed such a traditional research method based on the current national situation. I very much agree with this."

"But you are wrong about one thing. Tradition does not mean that it is not novel."

“You can also use traditional things to create new ones.”

"For example, adding the cloud to SM2 and SM4."

"Cloud?" Ye Fei said in astonishment: "Join cloud computing?"

"Yes." Cheng Jian said: "If cloud computing is added to the encryption algorithm, it will not only greatly speed up the operation speed of the encryption algorithm, but also improve the security of the private key based on the SM2 collaborative signature algorithm."

"I know that you want to introduce the concept of white box in SM4."

"It's a good idea, but there's one more thing we can add that makes the cryptographic algorithm even better."

Ye Fei raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?"

After all, he is not a professional in cryptography, so he is not as professional as Cheng Jian.

"Quantum algorithm!"

"If you add quantum algorithms, use quantum error correction, and then add white boxes."

"With them, SM4 can have the ability to attack exhaustively, and quantum resources are SM4's resource backup."

"This can improve SM4's weak point, attack capability!"

"At this time, connect SM2 and SM4 together."

"The cryptographic algorithm at this time can achieve functions such as accelerated computing speed, high defense security, and strong attack capabilities."

Ye Fei's eyes lit up: "If that's the case, this encryption algorithm would be perfect."

Think about it, SM2 and SM4 originally had strong defensive capabilities, and now coupled with their fast running speed and strong attack capabilities, they are equivalent to a hexagonal warrior, with no shortcomings in any aspect.

Cheng Jian said: "I heard that you also proposed Trusted Computing 3.0 at the conference?"

"Yeah!" Ye Feidao: "This is what I discovered when I was studying number theory. If our country can develop Trusted Computing 3.0, then it will be able to overtake others in the field of cryptography."

Trusted computing is very important, the most important point is the private key, and the private key is an indispensable part of chip manufacturing.

Without a private key in the chip, sensitive data sent to the chip cannot be authenticated and encrypted.

It is equivalent to saying that if there is no private key in the chip, the chip will be useless.

Therefore, any country that masters the most advanced trusted computing also masters part of the core technology of chip manufacturing.

Xia Guo currently does not have the ability to produce low-nanometer chips, but if it masters Trusted Computing 3.0, it can take some initiative in the chip field.

Foreign countries have chips, and Xia has trusted computing and rare earths.

Rare earths are one of the materials used in manufacturing high-end chips, and Xia is the country with the most rare earths, accounting for 71.1% of the world's total rare earth possessions.

Ye Feidao: "Of course, I was joking at the time. As for how to research it, I haven't figured out yet. I just proposed this concept."

"Yeah!" Cheng Jian nodded: "As for Trusted Computing 3.0, my teacher actually said it a few years ago. He said that the Trusted Computing 3.0 era will come within ten years."

"Many countries are also studying Trusted Computing 3.0, which is also a hot research topic in the computer field, but it is still at the theoretical and conceptual stage. There is still a long way to go before it is fully developed."

Ye Fei asked: "Did your teacher say how to research it?"

"We need to start with the Internet of Things and blockchain. Maybe after these two technologies are realized, Trusted Computing 3.0 can be born."

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded.

Cheng Jian laughed and said: "That's too far off topic. Let's continue talking about cryptographic algorithms!"

After that, the two communicated for more than two hours.

It was finally decided that the two would divide the task equally.

SM2 cloud computing is an area that Cheng Jian is good at, so Cheng Jian is in charge.

SM4 quantum computing is an area that Ye Fei is good at, so Ye Fei is in charge.

The two of them each led eighty people in research.

In the afternoon, Ye Fei settled in the research room of the theory team.

The Information Resources Research Center is composed of multiple research laboratories, and cryptographic algorithm research occupies several of them.

In the conference room!

Ye Fei sat at the head of the table and looked at his researchers.

These researchers are top talents from major universities and research institutes across the country.

There are full professors and associate professors from 985 universities here, as well as researchers from the National Research Center.

Each of them, taken individually, is a top scholar in the country and an internationally renowned scholar.

But now, they are all led by Ye Fei.

At this time, Ye Fei felt a little proud and a little proud.

Of course, he was not a young boy now, so he quickly suppressed this emotion.

Ye Feidao: "In the next period of time, I will lead everyone to do some theoretical experiments."

"I hope everyone will cooperate sincerely and strive to complete the experiment as soon as possible."

"Bah bang bang..." Everyone applauded enthusiastically.

Although they were not assigned to the staff of Academician Nan Guodong and Professor Cheng Jian, they felt a little disappointed.

But it's okay to be assigned to Ye Fei's subordinates. After all, Ye Fei also has real materials.

Yue Fei in the crowd felt bitter. He and Ye Fei were really destined. He was assigned to a room with him and was also assigned to a group led by Ye Fei.

Yue Fei said: "Is it because of my name that I am so destined to Ye Fei?"

"That must be the case, fuck..."

Ye Feidao: "Let me tell you what we will do next."

"After discussions between Professor Cheng and I, we still take the route of SM2 and SM4. Cloud computing is added to SM2, quantum computing is added to SM4, and what we are studying is SM4 quantum computing."

"The number of qubits, the number of universal quantum logic gates, the depth of the quantum circuit and the value of the quantum circuit are used as statistical parameters."

"First, quantum optimization implementation of SM4 algorithm S box..."

Ye Fei talked for more than an hour and went through the general experimental procedures.

Finally: "Combined with the quantum circuit of Grover algorithm to conduct an exhaustive attack on SM4, build the quantum resources required for the attack."

"The research steps are mainly divided into three parts."

"They are preparatory knowledge, quantum implementation of SM4 algorithm subcomponents, quantum implementation of SM4 algorithm and quantum exhaustive attack of SM4 algorithm."

"We will go through these four parts step by step. The first is preparatory knowledge. This is the foundation of the foundation. Only when the preparatory knowledge is prepared can the subsequent work be easier to do."

Preliminary knowledge amounts to the theory of theory in all jobs.

"The research steps of preparatory knowledge are Grover algorithm, SM4 arithmetic function, key expansion algorithm and the classic implementation of SM4 algorithm S-box."

"There are five steps in total. We have 80 people here, and they need to be divided into five groups, each group has 16 people."

"I don't know you either, so I'll assign them randomly!"

Soon, Ye Fei assigned everyone.

Ye Feidao: "The meeting is over and we will start working tomorrow."

The next day, after breakfast, everyone entered the laboratory and started working.

Time has passed quietly for a month, and it will enter 2026 in a few days, and Ye Fei will soon be twenty-five years old.

Along the way, Ye Fei felt very fulfilled.

Others are still looking for a job or going to school at the age of twenty-five.

At the age of twenty-five, he was already leading a team of top domestic scholars to conduct experiments.

On this day, Ye Fei entered the room of the first group. Each of his five groups occupied a room.

He walked in front of a white board and said, "Everyone, come here."

Everyone stopped what they were doing, stood up and gathered around Ye Fei. Someone asked: "Team leader, is something wrong?"

Ye Feidao: "Regarding Grover's algorithm, I will give you the main formula now."

"Master formula?" Everyone was shocked.

Someone asked: "Team leader, have you derived the main formula?"

The main formula is the most important part of the experiment, and they have been trying to derive it during this time.

It's just that the main formula is the most difficult part of the experiment. They have only found some clues after taking so long.

"Yeah!" Ye Feidao: "I've deduced it, I'll write it to you."

Ye Fei leads his team members to conduct experiments and likes to deduce the main formula and hand it over to his researchers.

In this way, their research speed will be much faster.

"Really?" Everyone looked at Ye Fei in surprise.

They couldn't believe that Ye Fei usually stayed with them and went to and from get off work together, and they didn't see Ye Fei working overtime.

The work they do seems to be similar to them.

But now Ye Fei actually told them that he had derived the main formula.

This is too unbelievable.

Ye Feidao: "You guys take care of it."

After speaking, he took out his pen and wrote the main formula on the whiteboard.

[Grover's algorithm uses |0\u003e|1\u003e as the output to prepare a uniform superposition state...]

[G=(2|ψ\u003e\u003cψ|I)Uf……]

Ye Feidao: "This is the main formula. You will rely on this main formula for research next."

They looked at each other with doubt in their eyes.

Although Ye Fei wrote out the main formula, they still couldn't believe it.

After all, so many of them had not deduced the main formula. Ye Fei was just one person, and it took him only a month to deduce it?

How can this be?

Someone asked: "Team leader, is this formula correct?"

Ye Fei glanced at the other party and said, "You can check it and you will know whether it is right or not."

He knew this was surprising, but he was able to derive the main formula in such a short time by absorbing everyone's inspiration.

Afterwards, everyone checked.

After Ye Fei saw it, he went to the other four groups and wrote the main formula to them.

Naturally they didn't believe it, so Ye Fei asked them to check it and see if it was correct.

Three days later, everyone was shocked.

The main formula is correct.

Someone asked in surprise: "How did the team leader deduce the main formula in such a short time? Could it be that he had been studying cryptographic algorithms before."

"But this is not logical!"

"All of us only learned about the research on cryptographic algorithms more than a month ago."

"It should be impossible for the team leader to know in advance!"

Everyone nodded. It was indeed true. Ye Fei could not have known it in advance.

But if it is not known in advance, then the main formula is derived within this month.

But how is it possible to derive the main formula in one month?

Everyone is puzzled!

"I heard that the team leader has derived the master formula for other teams."

"He derived five main formulas in one month. Did he dream about the main formulas?"

Someone said: "Maybe I just dreamed about it!"

Another person said: "How about we ask the team leader how he derived the five main formulas in one month?"

"Yeah!" Everyone nodded and said, "Go and ask."

Later, everyone found Ye Fei and asked him how he derived the five main formulas in one month.

Ye Fei smiled and said: "In fact, it is very simple to deduce the main formula in a short time."

Everyone looked at Ye Fei with bright eyes, expecting him to come up with useful methods.

Ye Fei smiled and said: "Read more, think more, read more literature."

There is no method. I just absorbed everyone's inspiration and brainstormed to deduce it in a short time.

To put it bluntly, it’s cheating.

When everyone heard this, the light in their eyes went out.

Who doesn’t understand this? We do it every day!

But I didn't manage to do it. I derived five main formulas in one month!

The lab next door!

"What?" Cheng Jian looked at the researcher next to him in surprise and said, "Ye Fei deduced five main formulas in a month? Is it true?"

"Of course it's true." The researcher said, "I didn't believe this news at first, but after asking about it later, I found it to be true."

"How did he do it?" Cheng Jian said in shock.

This is so awesome. He has never seen anyone able to derive five main formulas in one month.

Even he, who has always been called a genius, cannot do it.

Even when he was studying abroad in Beili Country, he had come into contact with many people in the upper-class academic circles, but he had never heard of such a thing.

This is not scientific, it is metaphysics.

"I don't know!" The researcher shook his head blankly and said, "Professor Ye's researchers were also confused and asked Professor Ye specifically, but Professor Ye didn't say anything."

"Is the master formula he derived correct?"

"is correct."

Cheng Jian took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said, "I understand."

He felt that he needed to talk to Ye Fei.

The next day, the office!

Ye Fei, Cheng Jian and Nan Guodong sat together.

Nan Guodong also knew about this, so the three of them sat together and wanted to talk about it.

Nan Guodong said: "I heard that you helped your researchers derive five main formulas within a month. How did you do it?"

"Don't try to talk to me about reading more and thinking more."

Ye Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Academician Nan, I really have no choice. I spent a month working hard to deduce that."

"You don't want to say it!" Cheng Jian said.

Ye Feidao: "If I had a way, I would have told you long ago, why would I lie to you."

"Just think about it, is there really a way to quickly derive mathematical formulas?"

"If only, math wouldn't be so hard."

After hearing this, Nan Guodong and the two nodded secretly in their hearts.

Indeed, there are no shortcuts in the world of science.

"Really?" Cheng Jian said unwillingly.

Ye Fei shook his head and said: "Really not!"

"Okay!" Cheng Jian said helplessly.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "How is your group's research going?"

Cheng Jian smiled bitterly and said: "We haven't even deduced one-tenth of the main formula. You help your group deduce the main formula. By the time your group completes the study, our group may not have even finished one-third of the study."

"So, your group has to wait for our group."

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Of course that's no problem, but does your group need help?"

Cheng Jian asked in surprise: "How can I help you?"

Ye Feidao: "I can help your group derive the main formula."

Cheng Jian's eyes lit up and he asked expectantly: "Is it okay?"

"Of course!" Ye Fei smiled and said, "This is not a difficult task for me."

Cheng Jian nodded and said, "Okay, please."

Ye Fei shook his head and said: "It's okay, we are all colleagues. I am not doing you a favor. I am trying to reduce the burden on the country. Develop the encryption algorithm as soon as possible and help the country as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Nan Guodong said excitedly, "That's good."

So, one month later, Ye Fei helped people in Cheng Jian's group deduce the main formula.

As the Spring Festival came quietly, Ye Fei made plans for his next schedule.

He needed to leave the Information Resources Research Center for a while and return to Zhonghu University.

Because the laser experiment at the Zhonghu University Laser Laboratory was in the final stage, he needed to go back and take a look.
