Abstract

Like many nerds, I have an interest in cryptography rooted in the wartime exploits of codebreaker and Ur-computer scientist Alan Turing. So I've followed with interest IEEE Spectrum's reporting on the burgeoning field of postquantum cryptography. These techniques are designed to frustrate even the immense potential of quantum computing, a technology light-years beyond the electromechanical bombe that Turing used to break the German Enigma cipher. I'm sure those new cryptographic methods will work just fine. But there is one encryption scheme, known even in Turing's time, that is mathematically secure against not just quantum computers but any computer that will ever be invented: the one-time pad.

像许多书呆子一样，我对密码学很感兴趣，这种兴趣源于战时密码破译者和原始计算机科学家艾伦·图灵（Alan Turing）的发明。因此，我饶有兴趣地关注了IEEE Spectrum关于后量子密码学这一新兴领域的报道。这些技术被设计用来挫败量子计算的巨大潜力，量子计算技术比图灵用来破解德国恩尼格玛密码的机电炸弹要先进好几光年。我相信那些新的加密方法会很好地工作。但是有一种加密方案，即使在图灵的时代也已经知道，它在数学上是安全的，不仅可以对抗量子计算机，也可以对抗任何即将发明的计算机：一次性键盘。
