随着量子计算的发展，计算能力将得到无法想象的快速增长，我们用以保护数据（和民主进程）的系统将变得岌岌可危。但我们还有时间，来规划如何应对即将到来的数据末日，这是加密专家维克拉姆·沙尔马的观点。他还讲述了如何用量子对抗量子：设计运用量子力学的安全设备和程序，来对抗那些最精准的攻击。

来推进加密技术发展，
02:35
really intrigued me.
41

这个想法让我激动不已。
02:38

We are now preparing

45
157435
3467
02:53
So how does this all work?
46
161719
1881
怎么来实现呢？
02:55
Well, first, let's take a quick tour
of the world of encryption.
of the world of encryption.
47
163624
3611
首先，我们来快速了解
一下加密的世界。
一下加密的世界。
02:59
For that, you'll need a briefcase,
48
167259
2047
你需要一个公文包，
03:01
some important documents that you want
to send your friend, James Bond,
to send your friend, James Bond,
49
169330
3991
你有一些重要的文件
要送给你的好朋友，詹姆斯·邦德，
要送给你的好朋友，詹姆斯·邦德，
03:05
and a lock to keep it all safe.
50
173345
2067
要锁起来，保证安全。
03:08
Because the documents are top secret,
we're going to use an advanced briefcase.
we're going to use an advanced briefcase.
51
176122
5175
因为这些材料是最高机密，
我们要用一个超级先进的公文包。
我们要用一个超级先进的公文包。
03:13
It has a special combination lock
52
181321
2064
它配有一把特殊的密码锁，
03:15
which, when closed,
53
183409
1565
一旦锁上，
03:16
converts all the text
in the documents to random numbers.
in the documents to random numbers.
54
184998
3412
就会把文件的内容
转换为随机的数字。
转换为随机的数字。
03:20
So you put your documents inside,
close the lock --
close the lock --
55
188434
3716
因此你只要把文件放进去，锁上，
03:24
at which point in time the documents
get converted to random numbers --
get converted to random numbers --
56
192174
3482
这个时候文件已经转换为
随机的数字了，
随机的数字了，
03:27
and you send the briefcase to James.
57
195680
2400
你把这个公文包送给詹姆斯。
03:30
While it's on its way,
you call him to give him the code.
you call him to give him the code.
58
198736
3230
公文包还没送到的时候，
你打电话告诉他密码。
你打电话告诉他密码。
03:34
When he gets the briefcase,
he enters the code,
he enters the code,
59
202387
2936
一旦他拿到公文包，输入密码，
03:37
the documents get unscrambled, and voilà,
60
205347
2984
文件破译完成，简直完美，
03:40
you've just sent
an encoded message to James Bond.
an encoded message to James Bond.
61
208355
3849
你成功地把一份加密信息
传递给了詹姆斯·邦德。
传递给了詹姆斯·邦德。
03:44
(Laughter)
62

（笑声）
03:45
A fun example, but it does illustrate
three things important for encryption.

63
213966
4490
一个好玩的例子，但是它
说明了加密的3个重点。
说明了加密的3个重点。
03:50
The code -- we call this
an encryption key.
an encryption key.
64
218776
2841
密码——我们称之为加密钥匙。
03:53
You can think of it as a password.
65
221641
2102
你可以把它想像成密码。
03:56
The call to James to give him
the code for the combination lock.
the code for the combination lock.
66
224093
4849
告诉詹姆斯密码的那通电话。
04:00
We call this key exchange.
67
228966
2031
我们称之为秘钥传递。
04:03
This is how you ensure
68
231442
1493
这保证我们
04:04
you get the encryption key
securely to the right place.
securely to the right place.
69
232959
3769
能将秘钥安全的送到指定地点。
04:09
And the lock, which encodes
and decodes the document.
and decodes the document.
70
237164
3699
以及用来加密和解密文件的锁。
04:12
We call this an encryption algorithm.
71
240887
2619
我们称之为加密算法。
04:15
Using the key, it encodes
the text in the documents
the text in the documents
72
243530
4968
通过秘钥，它将文件中的内容
04:20
to random numbers.
73
248522
1396
转换为随机的数字。
一个好的算法能够做到这一点，
04:21
A good algorithm will encode in such a way
74
249942
2762
04:24
that without the key
it's very difficult to unscramble.
it's very difficult to unscramble.
75
252728
3733
没有秘钥的话很难将密码破解。
04:29
What makes encryption so important
76
257529
1993
算法的重要性就在于
04:31
is that if someone were to capture
the briefcase and cut it open
the briefcase and cut it open
77
259546
3736
如果有人得到了公文包，把它打开，
04:35
without the encryption key
and the encryption algorithm,
and the encryption algorithm,
78
263306
3262
没有秘钥，不知道加密算法，
04:38
they wouldn't be able
to read the documents.
to read the documents.
79
266592
2516
就无法读取文档里的内容。
04:41
They would look like nothing more
than a bunch of random numbers.
than a bunch of random numbers.
80
269132
4150
得到的只是一些随机的数字。
04:46
Most security systems rely
on a secure method for key exchange

81
274575
4849
大部分的安全系统
都依赖于安全的秘钥传递方式，

However, rapid increases

When it was invented, in 1977,

05:13
it was estimated that it would take
40 quadrillion years

87
301180

要花大约4千万亿年，
05:17
to break a 426-bit RSA key.
88
305704
3536
才能破解一个426位的RSA秘钥。
05:22
In 1994, just 17 years later,
89
310006
4333
而到了1994年，
仅仅才过了17年，
仅仅才过了17年，
05:26
the code was broken.
90
314363

As computers have become
more and more powerful,
more and more powerful,
91
317355
2571
随着计算机性能越来越强，
05:31
we've had to use larger and larger codes.
92
319950
2667
我们需要的密码也越来越长。
05:35
Today we routinely use 2048 or 4096 bits.
93
323117
5998
现在我们经常会使用
2048或者4096位的密码。

As you can see, code makers and breakers

And when quantum computers arrive
in the next 10 to 15 years,

are putting two of those

108
386522
3237
已经危及到了其中2个重点。
06:42
First of all, those keys.
109
390450
1865
首当其冲的就是秘钥。
06:45
Random numbers are the foundational
building blocks of encryption keys.

110

4230
随机数字是构成秘钥的基础。

397260
2579
但到了今天，
它们不再是真正随机了。

06:52
Currently, we construct encryption keys

目前，我们生成秘钥，

06:59
so-called pseudo-random numbers.

Numbers generated by a program
or a mathematical recipe

程序或者数学方法生成的数字，
07:06
will have some, perhaps subtle,

116
414053
3761
总会有一些，也许并不
那么明显的规律在里面。

07:10
The less random the numbers are,
117
418784

这些数字的随机性越低，
07:12
or in scientific terms,
the less entropy they contain,

420360

或者用术语来讲，
包含的墒越低，

07:15
the easier they are to predict.
119

Recently, several casinos

他们对准老虎机拍摄一段时间，
07:27
and then analyzed.
122
435236
1357
然后进行分析。
07:28
This allowed the cyber criminals
123
436982

网络罪犯们
07:30
to reverse engineer
the pseudo-random number generator

And allowed them, with high accuracy,

Similar risks apply to encryption keys.
128

秘钥也同样不安全。

So having a true random number generator
is essential for secure encryption.
