In May 2017, the WannaCry ransomware virus broke out globally, with some university students in mainland China reporting that their computers were attacked by the virus and documents were maliciously encrypted. The ransomware wreaked havoc, resembling a global internet disaster, causing significant losses to computer users. According to the latest statistics, over 100 countries and … Read more
Click the blue text Follow us The Birth of Asymmetric Encryption Tree Brother: Cryptography can be simply divided into classical cryptography and modern cryptography. We have already introduced substitution ciphers and the Enigma machine in classical cryptography, and now we will begin to discuss symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods in modern cryptography. I’m sure you … Read more
HTTPS (full name: Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, is a secure version of HTTP designed with security in mind. This article will delve into its principles. 1 Why HTTPS is Necessary The reason for using HTTPS is quite simple: it is due to the insecurity of HTTP. When we send sensitive data to a server (such … Read more
1. Definition of Cryptography Before the late 20th century, cryptography was more of an art, primarily used for secret communication. At that time, there were no theories to rely on, nor any effective definitions to construct a good cipher. It wasn’t until the 1980s that the emergence of modern cryptography transformed the study of cryptography … Read more
This article provides a preliminary understanding of the field of information security. 1. Briefly describe security attacks, security mechanisms, and security services. Security attack: Any act that jeopardizes the security of an information system. Security mechanism: A process used to detect, prevent attacks, or recover from an attack state to a normal state. Security service … Read more

3DES is the common name for the Triple Data Encryption Standard. It is an enhanced version of the DES algorithm, equivalent to applying the DES operation three times to each data block. Due to the increased key length, the security level and difficulty of cracking are higher than that of the DES algorithm. The encryption … Read more
Last time, the author introduced some number theory knowledge. With this knowledge, we can understand the RSA algorithm. This is currently the most important encryption algorithm on Earth. 6. Steps for Key Generation We will understand the RSA algorithm through an example. Suppose Alice wants to communicate securely with Bob, how should she generate her … Read more
