In 1983, Wang Xiaoyun graduated from Zhucheng No.1 Middle School and was admitted to the Mathematics Department of Shandong University with excellent results. Later, he studied under the mathematician Pan Chengdong and completed his doctoral studies in 1993.

After graduation, Wang Xiaoyun chose to stay in Shandong University to teach. It took only nine years to become a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics. In 25, he was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation and was hired as Professor Yang Zhenning of the Advanced Research Center of Tsinghua University. The following year, he was specially hired as a professor by the Changjiang Scholar Award Program.

behind this academic aspect, Wang Xiaoyun is also known as a genius of password cracking in China. She was once the grand prize winner of the China Password Innovation Award, and was named the outstanding network security talent of that year.

Academician Beauty won many honors

In p>217, Wang Xiaoyun was elected as an academician of China Academy of Sciences, and two years later, he won the prize of Mathematics and Computer Science of China Future Academy of Sciences. From 1983 to 217, Wang Xiaoyun's glory in academic circles has never been broken, and he is the master in everyone's mind.

So many awards are only a part of her glory. The most admirable thing is that she once cracked two passwords that are claimed to be the safest in the world. After successfully cracking these two passwords, Wang Xiaoyun's original password analysis method also proved the loopholes in hash function passwords.

Taking this opportunity, she pushed to reset the new standard sm3 of China Hash Function, which has been widely used in key fields such as national power grid, finance and transportation, and more and more people began to know Wang Xiaoyun, a female academic tyrant who doesn't like literature alone.

Many people think that Wang Xiaoyun's deciphering ability is related to her major and is the result of her academic research. In fact, her talent and interest are the driving force for her to make a breakthrough in deciphering passwords. At first, she completed her doctoral studies in Shandong University, and stayed in our school as a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics. At that time, some colleagues discovered her talent for deciphering passwords.

Deciphering the world's most difficult cryptographic algorithm

The school has a heavy workload, so she teaches in the school during the day and can settle down to study cryptography at night. This complex subject is going smoothly because of the knowledge reserve of the Department of Mathematics, and she is very interested in cryptography, so she persisted in studying for a period of time and mastered the theoretical knowledge related to password decoding.

It is not enough to master the theoretical knowledge of this obscure content. At that time, countries such as the United States began to use Md5 information digest algorithm for security encryption, which involved a wide range of applications, and related to all users' account passwords, emails and signature information. The reason why MD5 was used for encryption was because this algorithm was irreversible, which greatly enhanced the difficulty of password decoding.

This encryption method has always been regarded as the most secure password system in the world, so it is also the goal that many people who study password cracking want to crack. Wang Xiaoyun started the practice of deciphering passwords with this as her goal. For her, deciphering this set of security system, which is known as the best in the world, is tantamount to a marathon trophy, so she has a strong interest in it.

In order to decipher the md5 algorithm before the secret meeting in 24, Wang Xiaoyun and his team worked overtime to decipher the MD5 algorithm, which was the most authoritative event in the world. Wang Xiaoyun released the news of deciphering the MD5 algorithm before the meeting as scheduled, which made the participants in the audience feel an uproar, and then cryptographers stood up and applauded the beautiful oriental woman one after another.

Wang Xiaoyun made this achievement and became the hot spot of the meeting. After the meeting, Wang Xiaoyun was surrounded by various institutions, vying for her report materials.

The countries that use this encryption method are most nervous. They are very scared, afraid that their important data will be stolen, and they quickly choose other types of security systems. Not only that, but I still have a lingering fear, indicating that similar algorithms will not be adopted in the next decade.

A report can make every country feel threatened, which shows how influential Wang Xiaoyun's achievements are.

This is also the first time that China has won the honor in the field of password deciphering, and has become a leading figure in the field of password deciphering in China.

The ability to decipher attracted international attention

After winning a world-class trophy, Wang Xiaoyun didn't stop running. After decoding MD5, Wang Xiaoyun felt that he had not reached the peak of his business.

There is another algorithm SHA-1 in the United States, which is no less difficult than MD5. At that time, famous hash function experts all said that they could only crack 57 steps, and then many ordinary people challenged it, all of which stopped at about 4 steps. So this algorithm became the next goal of Wang Xiaoyun and his team.

As a warning, I thought it would take a year and a half to decipher the new algorithm, but two months later, Wang Xiaoyun announced his latest research results, indicating that he had deciphered SHA-1' s algorithm.

This news shocked the world even more than the previous decoding of MD5. China, which was completely blank in the field of password decoding, suddenly became the world leader. All of a sudden, the international community felt incredible about this oriental woman. You should know that these two encryption algorithms are the most difficult in the world and are widely used in computers all over the world.

nowadays, the most powerful computer has to calculate the algorithm of MD5, and the amount of calculation is not small, reaching the eightieth power of 2. According to the calculation of the amount of calculation of the current supercomputer, it will take one million years to crack it. So how did Wang Xiaoyun and her team accomplish such a big workload?

All this is due to Wang Xiaoyun's solid foundation in mathematics, and without the help of computer, most of the data are calculated by her stroke by stroke.

Behind the simple deciphering results lies Wang Xiaoyun and her team's day-to-day calculations. This kind of calculation skill was highly praised by The Washington Times, which not only evaluated her excellent deciphering ability, but also indicated that she could attack the inside of the White House with her ability, which shows that the media spoke highly of her.

The issuance of many reports has also made many authoritative organizations see Wang Xiaoyun's talent. Who doesn't want such a powerful teammate? All countries offer favorable conditions to win her over, but in Wang Xiaoyun's mind, only the motherland is the place to cultivate her.

after the publication of MD5, Wang Xiaoyun discovered the loopholes in this algorithm, and developed a set of SM3 cryptosystem for the country. The previous loopholes were also covered by her, becoming the new strongest cryptographic algorithm in the world, which changed China's position in the cryptosystem world.

Wang Xiaoyun and his team have made outstanding contributions to the country and made great contributions to the field of password cracking in China. Not to be outdone, the country awarded Wang Xiaoyun 7.11 million as a reward, encouraging her to continue to devote herself to the field of password cracking in the future and continue to shine in this direction.
