Practical Guide to Integrating and Applying the National Encryption Algorithm SM4 in Financial Systems

Practical Guide to Integrating and Applying the National Encryption Algorithm SM4 in Financial Systems

Last year during the upgrade of the core banking system, I spent three minutes staring at the “Transaction Security Encryption in Progress” message on the mobile banking app—not because the system was stuck, but because our team was debugging the integration of the SM4 algorithm overnight. As a commercially developed encryption algorithm in China, SM4 … Read more

A Discussion on Zen Buddhism and Cryptography

A Discussion on Zen Buddhism and Cryptography

It is well known that the stability of the world’s financial infrastructure relies on the RSA encryption algorithm used by banks. This algorithm ultimately hinges on the difficulty of prime factorization. Since factorizing large numbers is a challenging task, almost impossible to accomplish manually, even computers would take thousands of years to crack a large … Read more

Understanding Elliptic Curve Cryptography with Ease

Understanding Elliptic Curve Cryptography with Ease

In the field of mathematics, I tried my best to explain the mathematical principles of cryptographic algorithms, but I failed, leading to the need to write a second version (Did someone not understand? Let’s try explaining the RSA encryption algorithm again). These are just arithmetic. Something that sounds sophisticated like elliptic curves, I thought I … Read more
