Chapter 1200

More than Baluch fainted.

the incidence rate of heart disease in Manhattan increased by ten percentage points in a whole day.

The gloomy stock market, like the pessimistic expectation of the North American economy, fell through the last psychological defense line like a waterfall.

The chain effect caused by this soon swept the global financial market, like domino, pushing all the way from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, and then from the stock market to the futures market

What does it mean if the existing cryptosystem fails?

It's not just the risk of password theft and bank runs.

It means that all financial products will lose guarantee due to the failure of a series of algorithms such as RSA.

The first hit is bitcoin, the digital cryptocurrency. The online business platform that originally opened the bitcoin payment channel, closed the interface of bitcoin wallet one after another, and no longer supports the payment of digital currency, trying to get rid of the relationship.

The next collapse was a series of financial derivatives.

Once the existing encryption rules are confirmed to be unreliable, the impact on the credit based financial market is no less than the attack of quantum computer on special currency.

Against the background of the double killing of stock market and bond market, the whole wall street is gloomy.

But then again.

They are the ones who hype all day about the threat to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, who transfer their domestic conflicts to the other side, and who are the ones who throw the problem of network security to China's cyber warfare forces.

Although China has not started, and is no different from initiating an unprofitable information war, there is no doubt that this time they really have the ability to win this war.

The confusion under panic is just the fulfillment of expectation.

And this is the result of self eating

At the same time, the scene of the 20th Asia Pacific Network Information Security Summit, looking from the stage to the stage, was full of people.

Representatives from more than 20 countries, as well as dozens of non-profit international organizations and institutions, sat quietly in their seats waiting for the meeting to begin.

Although the US side was absent from the meeting as before, their seats were still reserved on the conference table, and even two bottles of mineral water were put on it.

Standing in front of the stage, Vice Minister Yang from the Ministry of industry and information technology of the people's Republic of China delivered a speech on "jointly creating Internet information security" and "quantum encryption algorithm and quantum communication".

Although just two days ago, most of the participants were careless, after the financial turmoil caused by the United States yesterday, almost all of them had a 120 point spirit and listened attentively to every word that Vice Minister Yang said. They were afraid to miss every detail.

The speech lasted for 15 minutes and finally reached the question section.

Vice Minister Yang stopped talking, looked around the stairway conference room, and then gave the whole audience the opportunity to ask questions.

Soon, a dozen hands were raised in unison.

He picked a random questioner in the front row and nodded to him to show that he could stand up and ask questions.

"Mr. Yang, does quantum cryptography mean that we can solve the security problems brought by quantum computers once and for all?"

The question raised by Mr. Clarke, President of the international information system security certification Union, was just arrived in Shanghai. He was assessing the possible risks of quantum computers to the existing communication rules and financial order.

Changing the encryption algorithm is not an easy task for any country or organization.

If it has to be changed, he must at least find out how long this algorithm can support.

"Unfortunately, quantum encryption algorithm can't solve this problem permanently. In essence, it is still a computational password, not unconditional security. If it is a quantum computer with more than 2000 qubits, it may only take one day to crack its password."

Looking at the discreet Mr. Clarke, Vice Minister Yang continued.

"If we want to solve this problem once and for all, we need unconditionally secure means of communication in the end. In fact, the quantum undersea fiber optic cable project we are promoting is just for this purpose. "

"As for the quantum encryption algorithm, its real significance is not to solve any problem once and for all, but to help us get through the chaos period brought about by the technological change and strive for time."

At this reply, chairman Crick nodded and sat back thoughtfully.

Then the representative from England stood up and said with suspicion.

"Why not strengthen the supervision of quantum computers? At least limit its scope of use. It seems that your country has not considered at all the impact that the sudden disclosure of such information may have on the existing Internet and financial order. Of course, I am absolutely not speculating that China intends to cause the current global financial market turmoil, but I think everyone will have such a question Haven't you thought about it? "Although he never said it, the British representative almost wrote the word "distrust" on his face.

And after hearing this, the meeting room also gradually spread the whisper voice.

Yesterday's financial turmoil happened not only in North America, but almost all the world, including China itself. But relatively speaking, the impact on China is probably the smallest, or even negligible.

After all, a share has always been lying there, but it didn't get up very much

In the face of the questions from the British representative and the eyes of the whole audience, Vice Minister Yang said with a faint smile.

"Thought about it, but did we remind you?"

This sentence was addressed to the representative of the United Kingdom and also to the participants in the audience.

At the moment of hearing this sentence, the expression on the British representative's face was obviously frozen, and then an awkward expression appeared. Other participants' faces also showed embarrassed expressions, and moved away from the face of Vice Minister Yang standing on the stage.

Like

It's a real reminder.

But none of them took it seriously.

After all, no one expected that all of a sudden, the semi dead quantum computer technology had made a breakthrough in key technologies in just a few months, and directly reached the stomach in computing power.

524 qubits

This feature is to add up all the supercomputing that are not on the list to form a string, which has to be trampled into the soil. If they had known such a powerful technology, how could they have spared no effort to update the encryption algorithm.

"As for your previous question," Yang said with a faint smile after a pause. "Theoretically, it can be done in our country, in fact, we are also doing it, which you can rest assured."

Hearing this, the British representative felt that the pressure on his shoulder had been relieved for the most part, and finally he was relieved.

Fortunately, Vice Minister Yang gave him a step down.

"We sincerely thank you for your efforts on this issue At the same time, we also expect you to shoulder more responsibilities. Of course, we will cooperate... "

He sat back quickly after leaving behind two high sounding polite words.

Next, the representative of Japan stood up.

As soon as he got up, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Will you consider exporting this technology? Or in any form of cooperation, allow quantum computers to enter the market in a free form... "

At the moment when he asked this question, almost everyone at the scene pricked up their ears.

Including the British delegate who had just sat down, almost no knee jerk reflex came back to his feet.

In the face of the eager eyes of the whole audience, Vice Minister Yang's expression did not change much, and he replied as usual.

"Not for the moment, but we do not limit quantum computers to provide non military computing services to offshore institutions and enterprises, such as docking through satellites or special lines of submarine optical cables. If you are interested, our company will be glad to discuss with your company the specific cooperation matters. "

At this sentence, the Japanese representative's face showed some expression of embarrassment.

Computing services provided by offshore servers

If it's just ordinary factories or small and medium-sized enterprises, it's OK. However, for Canon, Mitsubishi and Toyota, which are related to the lifeblood of the national economy, and some laboratories involved in sensitive research, how can they safely connect their core competitiveness to a computer located abroad.

Keenly saw through the expression change on the face of the Japanese representative, and Vice Minister Yang didn't say anything dead, he said with a smile.

“…… Of course, nothing is absolute. After we have completed the reform of domestic information industry, maybe China's semiconductor enterprises will consider their own development needs and open up foreign markets. Of course, this is pure market behavior, and we will not interfere with it or even encourage them to do so! "

Hearing this, many people in the conference room had to work hard to resist the urge to roll their eyes.

Pure market behavior?

Ha ha.

What a trick!

However, even if they are clear about this, they have no way.

Backwardness will be beaten, which has been the principle since ancient times. Just like the controlled nuclear fusion, a small core has turned many vicious bandits into licking dogs.

Even the Americans who have always been arrogant have to make compromises on some issues, especially in the face of the patent stream of star technology. Rogue behavior is helpless. They can only watch their crazy output on the top of their own high-tech enterprises. Finally, I ask if the express delivery of East Asia electric power can be faster. The fusion reactor in Los Angeles has been waiting for too long

Japanese delegates had just sat down, but before the next one got up to speak, the door behind the conference room next to them suddenly opened.The participants in the stairway conference room turned around one after another with unexpected expressions on their faces.

There's no need to guess who's coming in.

There are only two empty seats and two bottles of unsealed mineral water left in the conference room.

Looking at the U.S. representative who entered the venue and sat down in front of the conference table with a gloomy face, Vice Minister Yang was slightly stunned, and then a thoughtful smile appeared on his face.

Didn't they say they won't come?

How come it smells so fast?
