After finishing his submission, Zhao Yi exhaled deeply, feeling completely relaxed. His long-term focus on his research had made him feel exhausted.
He organized his papers, stacked them together, bound them, then walked to the living room to make a cup of coffee. Afterward, he sat down on the sofa to watch TV.
Xu Chao also ca out and noticed Zhao Yi’s leisurely deanor and asked curiously, "Is your research finished?"
Zhao Yi nodded.
"You have been working on an encryption algorithm related to the Riemann Conjecture, right? Have you made any progress?" Xu Chao asked imdiately.
"What encryption?"
"The encryption algorithm," Xu Chao explained matter-of-factly. "It seems like you’ve been researching encryption algorithms lately. You were planning to use it for technical encryption of our program, right?"
He then shyly confessed, "When I was cleaning your house during the day, I saw your papers on your desk. They seed to be filled with equations and calculations. I thought you were planning to use the Riemann Conjecture to co up with a new encryption algorithm. A lot of internationally used encryption thods are based on this principle. I thought about developing a secure algorithm in the past, knowing that ordinary encryption can potentially be cracked."
"You’ve been researching for quite a while now. You finished today, right?"
Xu Chao sat on the couch, eager to know what kind of encryption algorithm Zhao Yi had co up with. "Tell about it."
He was a little impatient.
Zhao Yi was stunned. He took a mont and then asked, "You believe I’ve been developing a brand-new encryption thod?"
Xu Chao confidently said, "Your papers are filled with various functions and symbols, without any connection with each other; you surely couldn’t have been working on proving the Riemann Conjecture."
"Actually, no," Zhao Yi responded.
After hearing Zhao Yi’s denial, Xu Chao beca even more certain. "I studied it carefully. There were also corresponding analytical diagrams, symbols with different anings. It should be so kind of encoded text..."
Zhao Yi just nodded along.
If he was looking at it from an outsider’s perspective, he would also think Xu Chao’s analysis made sense. However, the reality was far from it. Zhao Yi actually thought about what Xu Chao had said and they had a discussion about encryption algorithms.
Zhao Yi only had a basic understanding of the topic.
Xu Chao, having perhaps conducted related research, was very knowledgeable about encryption algorithms.
Encryption is essentially code creation.
When encrypting computer programs or other content, one cannot simply make a password. Because it is not simply a few digits, but covering the entire program, it needs to have a certain pattern for those who know the pattern to ’unlock the code’.
But at the sa ti, a patterned password could easily be ’deciphered’.
That is the paradox.
Complex functions have therefore been used in code developnt. The concept of pri numbers used in the Riemann conjecture is very complex and the distribution pattern of pri numbers has not been discovered yet. Coding experts have used the Riemann conjecture in encryption algorithms, making use of its computational complexity, to produce codes that are difficult to break.
RSA asymtric encryption is a representative example of this. This algorithm is widely used in high-security information sectors like defense, finance, and the Internet.
The RSA asymtric encryption algorithm uses the characteristic of the difficulty in factoring large pris. That is, it’s very easy to get the product from multiplying two large pri numbers, but extrely difficult to factorize the product and find the two large pri numbers.
Because it is difficult to factorize the product of large pri numbers, the code is difficult to break.
If you want to break the code, you would need to spend a lot of ti and perform a large number of calculations, which would negate the purpose of code-breaking.
After discussing the encryption algorithm with Xu Chao, Zhao Yi decided to show him his research results. He picked up the stack of papers, pointed at the final function equation, and explained, "I call this the ’Irregular Three-Dinsional Tremor Waveform Function’."
"This is derived from the Riemann conjecture. On a three-dinsional graph, each peak and trough is a pri number. I won’t go into the process."
"Brother Chao, your words really make sense. A new encryption algorithm to secure our program package."
"This function may look simple and relatively easy to understand, but in fact, it’s very difficult to decipher. It has no predictable pattern unless you can find the formula for pri numbers. I believe the password designed based on this function will definitely be more secure."
"You have done a lot of research on encryption algorithms. I will temporarily entrust you with this task. If you encounter any difficulties, let know."
Zhao Yi gave Xu Chao a pat on the shoulder and said trustingly.
Xu Chao was dumbfounded.
Ever since Zhao Yi revealed his research results and gave a brief introduction, he had been speechless. Only after Zhao Yi finished talking did he react. He looked surprised and asked, "Are you saying that you’ve co up with a completely new function that covers all the pri number solutions in the Riemann Conjecture at certain positions and even includes more pri number solutions?"
"Didn’t I just ntion that?" Zhao Yi replied.
"Are you certain? It covers all the solutions to the pri numbers in the Riemann Conjecture?"
"As you can see, this is it..."
Xu Chao indeed saw the function, but he was more interested in sothing else. He looked carefully around Zhao Yi’s head, examined him closely, and finally exclaid with a bitter smile, "How on earth is your brain wired? You didn’t even understand the Riemann Conjecture a while ago and had to keep reading materials about it. But now you’ve made such substantial progress in such a short ti."
