In the morning of October 27, 2016, professor of The University of Waterloo in Canada, En-hui Yang, visited our base and gave a lecture entitled “Post-Quantum Security Plus Process Policing: Keep Your Data Dark to Hackers, but Transparent to You”. The seminar was chaired by Professor Yi-sheng An, Vice Dean of The School of Information and Engineering. More than 300 teachers and students attended it.

First, Professor Yang analyzed the importance of the information security to human life, property, and even life safety under the current Internet of Things. Then, he analyzed the common defects of existing information security solutions and consequent massive information leakage problems. Looking for other options, Professor Yang analyzed information security from a philosophical point of view, and proposed an innovative quantum key management solution, which could reliably encrypt data and prevent any foreign access to the encrypted data or authorized access, so as to resist any known or unknown hacker attacks. In the lecture, Professor Yang described the whole process of scientific research from conception to implementation with simple words to help the audience to have a more profound understanding of the latest research trends and development trends of today’s information security technology.

In the seminar, Professor Yang had a warm discussion in the depth and detail with the teachers and students who actively involved. He encouraged the students to dare to innovate, to diverge creative thinking, to look at scientific problems from a new angle, and to explore and seek new ways to solve the problem.
