The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 121: A little bit of attack is the limit

"Walter?"

Upon hearing this, both Hales Carr and Adam Douglas' eyes widened. Several other directors of the organizing committee in the office also raised their heads and looked over.

When the parity check sorting sieve was first proposed, the academic community had already begun to discuss how effective this method would be against attacks on RSA encryption.

However, there is currently no corresponding solution for how to defend against classification screening attacks.

Even in the fields of information security and cryptography, some scholars have begun to discuss whether it is time to smoothly transition RSA to other more secure encryption systems.

How long has it been since someone told them that there is a solution?
"Where did this news come from?"

The directors in the room came up to Jones Charles and asked curiously.

"This is what a friend of mine told me."

Jones Charles replied: "Xiao Yi recently participated in a project proposed by some financial institutions such as the World Bank with Terence Tao, J. Maynard, and Professor L. Kleinrock of UCLA. The project mainly focuses on the multi-party secure computing problem in the blockchain. Xiao Yi mentioned a solution to the classification sieve attack. In their computer community's evaluation, it is -"

“Genius design.”

Hearing this, the other directors were shocked.
"What? There is such a thing?"

Although Hales Carr was surprised, he thought it made sense. He waved his hand and said, "Isn't this nonsense? It's easy for our math genius to do their computer work."

"But..." He said in surprise, "In this case, the problem of the classification sieve was finally solved by the person who proposed the classification sieve?"

"Well...that's about it." Jones Charles nodded.

"Maybe this is fate." Hales Carl said involuntarily.

There are still many people in the West who believe in fatalism.

And now, the person who solved the classification screening problem was Xiao Yi, the proposer, which made them feel emotional for a moment.

However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room, and someone quickly walked in and said, "We have collected a list of 50 applicants for the conference, and there are many experts in the computer field among them."

Hearing this, Hales Karl, who had just been full of emotion, suddenly turned gloomy. He slapped the table and said, "Enough, enough, close the application channel! The meeting will officially begin tomorrow, let them stop applying!"

…………

……

1 month 29 day.

The 2021 Joint Mathematics Meetings officially opened.
The conference will be held at the San Jose International Convention Center.

At the opening ceremony that morning, more than 2,000 participants also demonstrated the grand scale of this conference.

As the opening ceremony ended, other lectures began.

Xiao Yi's impromptu lecture was scheduled for 7:30 this evening.

According to the original plan, there would be no reports after 7pm, and participants were required to arrange their own time.

However, perhaps it was precisely because there was no original arrangement that it was very appropriate to arrange Xiao Yi's speech during this period of time.

Because this means that every participant has time to attend Xiao Yi's speech.

This is a treatment that no other reporter enjoys.

The presentations by other speakers will be scheduled in parallel and divided according to different fields.

For example, a lecture in the field of number theory or a lecture in the field of algebraic geometry may be held at the same time.

Participants choose to attend a lecture based on their research field or area of ​​interest.

Maybe some participants only attend one lecture, and spend the rest of the time traveling or eating and drinking in the hotel banquet hall.

So, it is equivalent to the reports of other speakers, not necessarily many people will read them.

However, Xiao Yi's report was different, because many people came to this meeting just for his Xiao family.

Xiao developed this new method. Although the derivation process was a bit complicated, it was relatively simple to use. At least after so many days, many people had understood this new method.

Because of this, many people want to hear whether Xiao Yi, the proposer, can bring some new understanding to people in the development of Xiao's

……

In this way, the daytime passed quickly, and when all the participants finished their dinner, it was almost 7 o'clock.

Afterwards, more than 2,000 participants began to flow back to the main conference hall of the International Conference Center and began to enter in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the staff.

"Hou Lixie, there are so many people here. Are all the more than 2,000 people at this meeting here?"

"Only more than 100 people watched my report. Isn't this a huge gap?"

"You at least have more than 100 people watching, but I have less than 100 people."

In a certain row of seats, two people looked at the number of people present and couldn't help but speak.

Both of them were invited speakers at this conference and gave their reports this afternoon.

However, when they saw this grand scene before them, they all felt a huge sense of disappointment for a moment.

One of them could only console him: "After all, it is the Xiao expansion, which can be used in almost any field of mathematics. Let's just accept it." "Alas, that's all we can do."

The other person shook his head helplessly, thinking that he couldn't win.

……

"Well, it's been a long time since I attended a mathematics conference."

Brian Winston sat in his seat, looking at the number of people present, and said with a sigh, "It is said that there are few people studying mathematics, but it seems that there are quite a few people here. It is no less than the situation at the previous IEEE conference."

“In fact, there are still very few people who study mathematics.”

Said another man sitting next to Winston.

Silvio Micali, winner of the 2012 Turing Award.

This top computer expert who has made great contributions to computer cryptography looked at the many participants and said, "If you attended the seminars in the afternoon, you would know how few people there are. There are not even 100 people."

"Is that so?" Brian Winston raised his eyebrows. "But I'm not interested in these things anyway. I came here just for Xiao Yi's report."

"Who isn't?" another person said next to him.

Prabhakar Raghavan, senior vice president of knowledge and information at Google.

As a super giant in the computer field on this planet, Google's position in computer technology can almost be described as monopolistic.

If you are a student studying computer science, you may just pick up a few important papers in a certain computer field and you will always see a logo like [Google Inc.] on the papers.

It is precisely because of this that they have a very sensitive nose for any computer changes in the world.

For example, this time, they also got the news about the major breakthrough in computer information security very quickly.

Especially Prabhakar Raghavan, as a Google executive equivalent to the Chief Information Officer, he is technically superior to Brian Winston, the Chief Information Officer of the World Bank.

"I'm curious, why did you come to this meeting?" Winston asked curiously, "Is Google also interested in the cross-chain transaction protocol?"

"Of course I am interested. After all, we are also working on blockchain technology." Raghavan said: "As for why I came to this meeting... Is it possible that our Google headquarters is in California? In addition, after reading the paper you published that day, I was quite curious about this mathematical genius."

"I see." Winston nodded, and then teased, "Could it be that you, a Google executive, are interested in recruiting this math genius?"

Rajavan smiled and said, "If I can, I would certainly like to do so. I just wonder if that mathematical genius is willing to condescend to our field of applied mathematics."

"That's true."

Winston and Mikali couldn't help but laugh.

Many people who work in pure mathematics look down on applied mathematics.

Maybe this Xiao Yi is the same?

As for why he was willing to develop such a computer technology this time, maybe it was just to verify what he had learned?

They said no more and began waiting for the report to officially begin.

……

Time passed quickly and it was half past seven.

Hales Carr, the chairman of the organizing committee, stepped out and served as the host of the report, taking control of the situation before the report.

"Good evening, Radisson Ann Arbor haircutters."

Hales Carr was all smiles, even though there were so many people in front of him, many of whom were the sinners who had caused him to lose a few strands of hair in the past few days and made his Mediterranean look increasingly precarious, but at this moment he still maintained the demeanor of a chairman of the organizing committee.

“I believe everyone has been waiting for this moment for a long time.”

"A few days ago, a new mathematical method appeared in the mathematical world. It showed us the information hidden in mathematics in a completely new way, helping us better understand the mysteries hidden in the complex number field."

"Now, with its help, the critical line theorem of the Riemann hypothesis has been successfully approached to 61%, an increase of nearly 41.7% from 20% a year ago!"

"Professor G. Faltings said that if we can really prove the Riemann hypothesis in the future, this new method will definitely play a vital role in it."

"And this method is exactly Xiao's polynomial expansion!"

"Well, let's invite Mr. Xiao Yi to share his views on the expansion of Xiao's polynomials!"

Wow~
There was a round of applause.

All the audience present looked towards one side of the main podium.

Then, the young man walked out, stood in the middle of the podium, and bowed slightly to the people present.

For people in the mathematics community, Xiao Yi is already very familiar to them. After all, more than half of the mathematicians present had read Xiao Yi's reports before.

However, for hundreds of experts and scholars from the computer field.

While clapping, they looked at the young man on the stage with curiosity.

Is this the math genius?
During this period of time, with just a little bit of experience in their computer field, they have already reached this level... the limit of this field.
