The laptop computer broke in 53 hours an encryption code, which prevented to deny the quantum-computer attack.




This thing shows the weakness of quantum computers. The error handling and disturbing handling are not yet effective enough. And another thing is that quantum computers are not so usual things that they will turn to regular tools for programmers. 

The thing is that there are no programmers on Earth who have so-called large-scale experience of working with quantum computers. So without error-handling. There is a large number of errors in the program code and algorithms. That is made by using quantum computers. 

What part of the broken algorithm was made by using the quantum computer? That thing is not mentioned in the news. That is linked below this text. The fact is that the encryption codes that are made by using binary computers are useless against the quantum computer. 

There is the possibility that quantum computers are used only to generate the prime number that is used in the encryption process. If the algorithms are made by using binary computers. There would be no problem for breaking it with a quantum computer.

The zero-point in the Riemann hypothesis causes the re-estimation of the encryption that uses prime numbers. 


The computers are using Riemann conjecture that is also known as Riemann conjecture for that purpose. There are zero points in that conjecture or "Zeta function". So there should be found some other way to create prime numbers. 



Image: Zero-points in Riemann hypothesis. 


"The real part (red) and imaginary part (blue) of the Riemann zeta function, along with the critical line Re(s) = 1/2. The first nontrivial zeros can be seen at lm(s) = ±14.135, ±21.022, and ±25.011". (Wikipedia/Riemann hypothesis)

Even if there is a zero-point in Riemann's conjecture in the point Re(s) 1/2. There is a possibility to generate prime numbers by using this formula. If there are only a couple of zero points. Into the program code must just involve a command. That denies using of those points. ("Don't use the point Re(s)=1/2)" would be the command). 

But as you see from the film at the top of this text there are five zero points in the Riemann zeta function that is also known Riemann hypothesis and Riemann conjecture. There is the possibility that there are more zero points. And if the Riemann Zeta function is used in the encryption algorithm. Those points should involve to "don't use list". 

But in higher-level encryption that is needed in the most secured data transmission, there is the possibility that Riemann conjecture or hypothesis is not enough to reach the Pretty Good Privacy level in the highest secured data transmission. 


x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x



The hacker cannot predict time what breaking the algorithms takes. 


When we are thinking that the hacker uses 53 hours to crack some algorithm we must remember one thing. Before the code-braking process, the hacker cannot predict how long that process takes. So when the code braking process begins the system can handle that problem from one minute to 10000 hours. And as you see code-braking requires patience. 

But maybe quantum computers are not very common systems yet. Yet those systems are not creating the large-scale risk for the things like crypto-currencies. Those computers are in well-guarded laboratories. But in the future, the situation will change. 

The quantum computers turn more common. And those systems turn private-owned. Also, the experience of programming and error-handling in quantum computing will advance. And that makes it possible that quantum computers will scale themselves across the internet. When we are thinking about quantum computers. They will repeat the history of computers. The first computers were in laboratories. 

And they were used by very highly trained people. But then those systems turned more common, cheaper and finally, even ordinary people could find those things. The Apple's Lisa and IBM PC (Personal Computer) was the first breakthrough for computers. The second breakthrough was the pocket-size mobile devices or "smartphones". That allows people to be connected to the internet all the time. 

And then we might think that the quantum computers are following this way. Maybe sooner than we think we can see the quantum-personal computers in the supermarkets.

Are bitcoins safe from attackers who use quantum computers?

The fact is this. There is quite a small number of quantum computers in the world. They are easy to control. And there is no free access to those computers. If the quantum computer is in some cave there is the possibility to double-check the code that s driven by using quantum computers. But if some intelligence service uses that quantum computer. There is the possibility. That it will use as a tool for network attacks. 

Trusted organizations are controlling those systems. And that means the internet is safe from private attackers who use quantum computers. But the problem is that some governments might have a will to attack other states' facilities by using quantum computers. 

Nobody protects people against governmental actors. If the hackers are operating under governmental protection. There is no way to get them to the court. 

The NSA is not the only network intelligence organization in the world. Chinese and Russians are also interesting in quantum computers. And those governments have their way to make hackers cooperate with their military and intelligence organizations. If some hacker would not cooperate those governments will make some trouble to that person who dares to deny their offer. 

In the worst cases, some family members will get in trouble. If the hacker says "no". And the offer goes like this. If the hacker will cooperate with authorities, some of that person's family members would not get a new workplace in carbon mining. 

And one area where quantum computers are the ultimate tools is cryptology. Quantum computers can use to break protective algorithms. The thing is that the benefits and power of quantum computers are well-known. That makes them very financed and very wanted tools.

As I wrote earlier, there are not many quantum computers in the world yet. But the situation can change quite soon. The R&D work around quantum computers continues. And the advantages in that area are impressive. The quantum computers would turn more common all the time. 

And sooner or later also medium and small-size companies can buy those systems. So in those companies may work people with some gang-contacts. And they can offer access to their systems for private hackers.

The biggest threat from the non-governmental sector is that some hackers will get access to quantum computers. And they can use the quantum systems for carking tools. When those quantum systems turn more common, there is the possibility that this kind of quantum system would get into the wrong hands.

Who takes a part in other countries internal politics?


http://kirjabloggaus.blogspot.com/2018/07/who-takes-part-in-other-countries.html


Kimmo Huosionmaa

The great point of meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump is closing, and here is one very interesting notification about this meeting, and about criticising those leaders. The thing is, that Trump is prosecuted by taking a part in the United Kingdoms internal politics because he said something about it. But meanwhile, the Russian military personnel are charged with hacking the computers in the election process of the United States president.


And this is a very bad thing because hacking of those computers can influent the result of the election. This is the very interesting thing because if some intelligence service would want to influent the election of other states leaders, that is taking part in internal politics of that country. When we are talking about how those leaders would be dealing with media, we are noticing that is a difference about attitudes, what is tolerated by those leaders. Everything, what Putin makes is right, but when Trump says something, he makes everything wrong.


There is something that makes Russian intelligence operations more acceptable than United States intelligence operations. And I must say that this is the very interesting attitude. By the way, the term "intelligence operation" means actually the getting information. The hacking of the computers and influence the internal politics of some other land is "covert action", or "Black Operation". And when we are thinking about the situation, that Russian intelligence officers have made the influential action in the election campaign, that would happen by order of Kreml or somebody else, and this kind of actions can be marked that every connection to the head of the state would deny.


That means that the persons, who might be behind that action are covered. Maybe Putin knew that or maybe he didn't know about those hackings. But there are also other people, who might claim that Putin was involved because that would slow the investigations. This hacking brought some thoughts to my mind. One of them is "how many times this has made before?". I think that those persons, who are behind that operation might not be first-timers for making that kind of things. And how many times that kind of influence has been given to the election campaigns in the small countries, what would not be so loudly to protect their benefits? So is there other nations, where is made this kind of hacking operations, where the election of the head of the state has been influenced by cyber operations, what are made by the foreign actor?


One part of information operations is that the enemy would tell that the resistance would be doomed even before the war have begun. The opponent is trying to metalize the targeted nations, that they would not have any change in the real military conflict. And after that, the "wise men" would lay down their weapons and start to take a spoon in their beautiful hand, and start to follow the opponent's orders. There is one thing that information warfare specialists always highlight. That is that "why own military personnel must risk their lives for some other country?". The purpose of this kind of argumentation is to break coalitions and for this kind of action, the single parts of the coalition would give the benefits like free trade contracts if they slip off the front. Fear is one of the best weapons in the word. And if another side would be doomed to lose, that would give change to grow the own position in the international area.

Every encryption have vulnerabilities and now WPA2 (WiFi Protecting Access 2) algorithm has vulnerabilities




Kimmo Huosionmaa

Again hackers have made a good job and broke secrecy of the WPA2 (WiFi Protecting Access 2) algorithm. What made this good work, is that they published that data so all Internet community can begin to create new kind of secrecy, or prepare themselves that their private data can be stolen from their secured WEB-drives.  That action shows that we must keep going with creating new methods of encrypting data and keep our privacy so strong, that nobody sees our private data what is sent over the net. But as you might know, real-life hacking is more difficult than something that happens in media. Almost every kind of encryption has weakened, and one thing what creates much more vulnerabilities is human. If a person uses too difficult passwords he or she might need to write it down or in worst case use a text file, where that person copy-pastes those marks to password line.


And what makes that thing vulnerable for the system, is that somebody might take the only photograph from the screen, when that person opens his or her text file. And the question is did he or she remember to shut down the big screen if that person is giving training lessons to some audience. In that case, could the hacker get password very easily, only thing what that person need is taken photograph in the right moment, and after that hacker could slip in the system. Worst hacker-style is social hacking. The simplest way is just to find a boss of that target company and pump that person full of sodium-Amytal when those attackers are only asked for the password from that man or woman.


In that method hackers just get one director's phone in their hands, and simply ask people passwords from the telephone, and if people won't warned about that kind of hacking, could hackers steal very much information from their target system. Sometimes users of the system ask micro support to install some programs on their workstations, and that could cause terrible situation if a hacker is a member of the micro support team. That could cause information leak where hacker simply copies hard disks information to their USB-memories, and that could be very harmful to business secrets.


In those scenarios, hackers slip a man inside the system. There they can steal information for years if somebody wouldn't see what that person does. But when we are talking about cracking algorithms with the mathematical method, we must remember that modern computers speed and power have been grown from days when that WPA2 algorithm have been created. That makes that security vulnerable for modern computers when they use "brute force" attack against the system.
