第三十三章加密-Cryptography

翻译内容

Hi, I'm Carrie Anne, and welcome to CrashCourse Computer Science!
(｡･∀･)ﾉﾞ嗨，我是 Carrie Anne，欢迎收看计算机科学速成课！

Over the past two episodes, we’ve talked a lot about computer security.
在过去两集，我们聊了很多计算机安全话题

But the fact is, there’s no such thing as a perfectly, 100% secure, computer system.
但事实是 世上不存在100%安全的系统

There will always be bugs and security experts know that.
总会有漏洞存在，而且安全专家知道这一点

So system architects employ a strategy called defence in depth
所以系统架构师会部署"多层防御"

which uses many layers of varying security mechanisms to frustrate attackers.
用多层不同的安全机制来阻碍攻击者

It’s a bit like how castles are designed
有点像城堡的设计一样

first you’ve got to dodge the archers
首先要避开弓箭手

then cross the moat, scale the walls, avoid the hot oil, get over the ramparts, and defeat the guards
穿过护城河,翻过城墙,避开热油,打败守卫

before you get to the throne room
才能达到王座

but in this case we’re talking about one of the most common forms of computer security
不过我们这里要说的是，计算机安全中最常见的防御形式

Cryptography
密码学

The word cryptography comes from the roots ‘crypto’ and ‘graphy’, roughly translating to "secret writing".
密码学(cryptography) 一词 \N 来自 crypto 和 graphy，大致翻译成"秘密写作"

In order to make information secret, you use a cipher – an algorithm that converts plain text into ciphertext
为了加密信息，要用加密算法(Cipher) 把明文转为密文

which is gibberish unless you have a key that lets you undo the cipher.
除非你知道如何解密，不然密文看起来只是一堆乱码

The process of making text secret is called encryption
把明文转成密文叫"加密"(encryption)

and the reverse process is called decryption
把密文恢复回明文叫"解密"(decryption)

Ciphers have been used long before computers showed up.
加密算法早在计算机出现前就有了

Julius Caesar used what’s now called a Caesar cipher, to encrypt private correspondence.
朱利叶斯·凯撒 用如今我们叫"凯撒加密"的方法 来加密私人信件

He would shift the letters in a message forward by three places.
他会把信件中的字母 向前移动三个位置

So, A became D, and the word "brutus" became this: "euxwxv".
所以A会变成D，brutus变成euxwxv

To decipher the message, recipients had to know both the algorithm and the number to shift by, which acted as the key.
为了解密，接收者要知道 \N 1. 用了什么算法 2. 要偏移的字母位数

The Caesar cipher is one example of a larger class of techniques called substitution ciphers.
有一大类算法叫"替换加密"，凯撒密码是其中一种

These replace every letter in a message with\Nsomething else according to a translation.
算法把每个字母替换成其他字母

A big drawback of basic substitution ciphers is that letter frequencies are preserved.
但有个巨大的缺点是，字母的出现频率是一样的

For example, E is the most common letter in English
举个例子，E在英语中是最常见的字母

so if your cipher translates E to an X
如果把E加密成X

then X will show up the most frequently in the ciphertext.
那么密文中 X 的出现频率会很高

A skilled cryptanalyst can work backwards from these kinds of statistics to figure out the message.
熟练的密码破译师可以从统计数据中发现规律，进而破译密码

Indeed, it was the breaking of a substitution cipher that led to the execution of Mary Queen of Scots,in 1587 for plotting to kill Queen Elizabeth.
1587年，正因为一个"替换加密"的密文被破译，\n导致杀伊丽莎白女王的阴谋暴露，使得玛丽女王被处决

Another fundamental class of techniques are permutation ciphers.
另一类加密算法叫 "移位加密"

Let’s look at a simple example, called a columnar transposition cipher.
我们来看一个简单例子叫 "列移位加密"

Here, we take a message, and fill the letters into a grid.
我们把明文填入网格

In this case, we’ve chosen 5 by 5
网格大小我们这里选择 5x5

To encrypt our message, we read out the characters in a different order
为了加密信息，我们换个顺序来读

let’s say from the bottom left, working upwards, one column at a time.
比如从左边开始，从下往上，一次一列。

The new letter ordering, what’s called a permutation, is the encrypted message.
加密后字母的排列不同了

The ordering direction, as well as the 5 by 5 grid size, serves as the key.
解密的关键是，知道读取方向和网格大小是5x5

Like before, if the cipher and key are known, a recipient can reverse the process to reveal the original message.
就像之前，如果接收者知道密文和加密方法 \N 才能解密得到原始消息

By the 1900s, cryptography was mechanized in the form of encryption machines.
到了1900年代，人们用密码学做了加密机器

The most famous was the German Enigma, used by the Nazis to encrypt their wartime communications.
其中最有名的是德国的英格玛（Enigma）\N 纳粹在战时用英格玛加密通讯信息

As we discussed back in Episode 15, the Enigma was a typewriter-like machine, with a keyboard and lampboard, both showing the full alphabet.
正如第15集中说过，Enigma 是一台像打字机的机器，\N 有键盘和灯板，两者都有完整的字母表

Above that, there was a series of configurable rotors that were the key to the Enigma’s encryption capability.
而且它有一系列"转子"(rotros) ，是加密的关键

First, let’s look at just one rotor.
首先，我们只看一个转子

One side had electrical contacts for all 26 letters.
它一面有26个接触点，代表26个字母

These connected to the other side of the rotor using cross-crossing wires that swapped one letter for another.
然后线会连到另一面，替换字母

If ‘H’ went in, ‘K’ might come out the other side.
如果输入'H'，'K'会从另一边出来

If "K’ went in, ‘F’ might come out, and so on.
如果输入'K'，'F'会从另一边出来，以此类推

This letter swapping behavior should sound familiar: it’s a substitution cipher!
这个字母替换过程你应该听起来很熟悉：它是"替换加密"!

But, the Enigma was more sophisticated becauseit used three or more rotors in a row, each feeding into the next.
但英格玛(Enigma)更复杂一些，因为它有3个或更多转子，\N 一个转子的输出作为下一个转子的输入。

Rotors could also be rotated to one of 26 possible starting positions
转子还有26个起始位置

and they could be inserted in different orders, providinga lot of different substitution mappings.
还可以按不同顺序放入转子，提供更多字母替换映射

Following the rotors was a special circuit called a reflector.
转子之后是一个叫"反射器"的特殊电路

Instead of passing the signal on to another rotor, it connected every pin to another,
它每个引脚会连到另一个引脚

and sent the electrical signal back through the rotors.
并把信号发回给转子

Finally, there was a plug board at the front of the machine
最后，机器前方有一个插板

that allowed letters coming from the keyboard to be optionally swapped,
可以把输入键盘的字母预先进行替换

adding another level of complexity.
又加了一层复杂度

With our simplified circuit, let’s encrypta letter on this example enigma configuration.
让我们用这里的简化版电路，加密一些字母

If we press the ‘H’ key, electricity flows through the plugboard, then the rotors
如果我们按下"H"键，电流会先通过插板，然后通过转子

hits the reflector, comes back through the rotorsand plugboard, and illuminates the letter ‘L’ on the lampboard.
到达反射器，然后回来转子，回来插板，并照亮键盘灯板的字母"L"。

So H is encrypted to L.
H 就加密成了 L

Note that the circuit can flow both ways –
注意, 电路是双向的

so if we typed the letter ‘L’, ‘H’ would light up.
所以如果我们按下 L，H 会亮起来

In other words, it’s the same process for encrypting and decrypting;
换句话说，加密和解密的步骤是一样的

you just have to make sure the sending and receiving machineshave the same initial configuration.
你只需要确保 发送机和接收机的初始配置一样就行

If you look carefully at this circuit, you’ll notice it’s impossible for a letter to be encrypted as itself
如果你有仔细观察，会注意到字母加密后一定会变成另一个字母

which turned out to be a fatal cryptographic weakness.
之后这成为最大的弱点

Finally, to prevent the Enigma from being a simple substitution cipher
最后，为了让英格玛不只是简单的"替换加密"

every single time a letter was entered, the rotors advanced by one spot, sort of like an odometer in a car.
每输入一个字母，转子会转一格，有点像汽车里程表。

So if you entered the text A-A-A, it might come out as B-D-K, where the substitution mapping changed with every key press.
如果你输入A-A-A，可能会变成B-D-K，\n映射会随着每次按键而改变

The Enigma was a tough cookie to crack, for sure.
英格玛当然是一块难啃的骨头

But as we discussed in Episode 15, Alan Turingand and his colleagues
但正如我们第15集中说的，艾伦·图灵和同事

at Bletchley Park were able to break Enigma codes and largely automate the process.
破解了英格玛加密，并把大部分破解流程做成了自动化

But with the advent of computers, cryptography moved from hardware into software.
但随着计算机出现，加密从硬件转往软件

One of the earliest software ciphers to become widespread
早期加密算法中，应用最广泛的

was the Data Encryption Standard developed by IBM and the NSA in 1977
是 IBM 和 NSA 于1977年开发的"数据加密标准"

DES, as it was known, originally used binary keys that were 56 bits long,
DES最初用的是56 bit长度的二进制密钥，

which means that there are 2 to the 56, or about 72 quadrillion different keys.
意味着有2的56次方，或大约72千万亿个不同密钥

Back in 1977, that meant that nobody – except perhaps the NSA –
在1977年时，也许 NSA 有这能力，

had enough computing power to brute-force all possible keys.
但没有其他人有足够计算能力 来暴力破解所有可能密钥。

But, by 1999, a quarter-million dollar computer could try every possible DES key in just two days, rendering the cipher insecure.
但到1999年，一台25万美元的计算机能在两天内 \N 把 DES 的所有可能密钥都试一遍，让 DES 算法不再安全

So, in 2001, the Advanced Encryption Standard(AES) was finalized and published.
因此 2001 年出了：高级加密标准（AES）

AES is designed to use much bigger keys – 128,192 or 256 bits in size – making brute force attacks much, much harder.
AES 用更长的密钥 - 128位/192位/256位 - 让暴力破解更加困难

For a 128-bit keys, you'd need trillions of years to try every combination, even if you used every single computer on the planet today.
128位的密钥，哪怕用现在地球上的所有计算机\N 也要上万亿年才能试遍所有组合

So you better get started!
你最好赶紧开始!

AES chops data up into 16-byte blocks, and then applies a series of substitutions and permutations,
AES将数据切成一块一块，每块16个字节，\N 然后用密钥进行一系列替换加密和移位加密

based on the key value plus some other operations to obscure the message,
再加上一些其他操作，进一步加密信息

and this process is repeated ten or more times for each block.
每一块数据，会重复这个过程10次或以上

You might be wondering: why only ten rounds?
你可能想知道：为什么只重复10次？

Or why only 128 bit keys, and not ten thousand bit keys?
为什么用128位密钥，而不是10000位？

Well, it’s a performance tradeoff.
这其实是基于性能的权衡

If it took hours to encrypt and send an email,or minutes to connect to a secure website, people wouldn't use it
如果要花几小时加密和发邮件，或几分钟载入网站，没人愿意用

AES balances performance and security to provide practical cryptography.
AES 在性能和安全性间取得平衡

Today, AES is used everywhere, from encrypting files on iPhones
如今AES被广泛使用，比如iPhone上加密文件

and transmitting data over WiFi with WPA2 to accessing websites using HTTPS.
用 WPA2 协议在 WiFi 中访问 HTTPS 网站

So far, the cryptographic techniques we’ve discussed rely on keys that are known by both sender and recipient.
到目前为止 我们讨论过的加密技术\N 依赖于发送者和接收者都知道密钥

The sender encrypts a message using a key, and the recipient decrypts it using the same key.
发件人用密钥加密，收件人用相同的密钥解密

In the old days, keys would be shared by voice, or physically;
以前，密钥可以口头约定，或依靠物品

for example, the Germans distributed codebooks with daily settings for their Enigma machines.
比如德国人给英格玛配了密码本，上面有每天的配置

But this strategy could never work in the internet era.
但互联网时代没法这样做

Imagine having to crack open a codebook to connect to youtube
你能想象 要打开密码本才能访问 YouTube 吗？

What’s needed is a way for a server to send a secret key over the public internet to a user wishing to connect securely.
我们需要某种方法 在公开的互联网上传递密钥给对方

It seems like that wouldn’t be secure, because if the key is sent in the open and intercepted by a hacker
这看起来好像不安全，如果密钥被黑客拦截了

couldn’t they use that to decrypt all communication between the two?
黑客不就能解密通信了吗？

The solution is key exchange!
解决方案是 "密钥交换"！

– An algorithm that lets two computers agreeon a key without ever sending one.
密钥交换是一种不发送密钥，\N 但依然让两台计算机在密钥上达成共识的算法

We can do this with one-way functions –
我们可以用"单向函数"来做

mathematical operations that are very easy to do in one direction, but hard to reverse.
单项函数是一种数学操作，很容易算出结果，\N 但想从结果逆向推算出输入非常困难

To show you how one-way functions work, let’ s use paint colors as an analogy.
为了让你明白单项函数，我们拿颜色作比喻

It’s easy to mix paint colors together, but it’s not so easy to figure
将颜色混合在一起很容易，

out the constituent colors that were used to make a mixed paint color.
但想知道混了什么颜色很难

You’d have to test a lot of possibilities to figure it out.
要试很多种可能才知道

In this metaphor, our secret key is a unique shade of paint.
用这个比喻，那么我们的密钥是一种独特的颜色

First, there’s a public paint color that everyone can see.
首先，有一个公开的颜色，所有人都可以看到

Then, John and I each pick a secret paint color.
然后，约翰和我各自选一个秘密颜色，只有自己知道.

To exchange keys, I mix my secret paint color with the public paint color.
为了交换密钥，我把我的 秘密颜色 和 公开颜色 混在一起

Then, I send that mixed color to John by anymeans – mail, carrier pigeon, whatever.
然后发给约翰，可以写信发，用信鸽发，什么方式都行.

John does the same – mixing his secret paint color with the public color, then sending that to me.
约翰也这样做，把他的秘密颜色和公开颜色混在一起，然后发我

When I receive John’s color, I simply add my private color to create a blend of all three paints.
我收到约翰的颜色之后，把我的秘密颜色加进去，\N 现在3种颜色混合在一起

John does the same with my mixed color.
John 也一样做

And Voila!
瞧!

We both end up with the same paint color!
我们有了一样的颜色

We can use this as a shared secret, even though we never sent each other our individual secret colors.
我们可以把这个颜色当密钥，尽管我们从来没有给对方发过这颜色

A snooping outside observer would know partial information, but they’d find it very difficult to figure out our shared secret color.
外部窥探者可以知道部分信息，但无法知道最终颜色

Of course, sending and mixing paint colors isn’t going to work well for transmitting computer data.
当然，计算机要传输数据时，混合颜料和发颜料不太合适

But luckily, mathematical one-way functions are perfect,
但幸运的是，数学单向函数是完美的

and this is what Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange uses.
我们可以用 "迪菲-赫尔曼密钥交换"

In Diffie-Hellman, the one-way function is modular exponentiation.
在 Diffie-Hellman 中，单向函数是模幂运算

This means taking one number, the base, to the power of another number,
意思是先做幂运算，拿一个数字当底数，拿一个数字当指数，比如 A

b

the exponent, and taking the remainder when dividing by a third number, the modulus.
然后除以第三个数字，最后拿到我们想要的余数

So, for example, if we wanted to calculate 3 to the 5th power, modulo 31,
举个例子，假设我们想算3的5次方，模31

we would calculate 3 to the 5th, which is 243,
我们先算3的5次方，得到243

then take the remainder when divided by 31, which is 26.
\N然后除31，取余数，得到26

The hard part is figuring out the exponent given only the result and the base.
重点是 如果只给余数和基数。很难得知指数是多少

If I tell you I raised 3 to some secret number, modulo 31, and got 7 as the remainder
如果我告诉你，3的某次方 模31，余数是7

you'd have to test a lot of exponents to know which one I picked.
你要试很多次，才能知道次方是多少

If we make these numbers big, say hundreds of digits long,
如果把数字变长一些，比如几百位长

then finding the secret exponent is nearly impossible.
想找到秘密指数是多少，几乎是不可能的。

Now let’s talk about how Diffie-Hellman
现在我们来讨论 Diffie-Hellman 是怎么

uses modular exponentiation to calculate a shared key.
用模幂运算 算出双方共享的密钥

First, there's a set of public values – the base and the modulus,
首先，我们有公开的值 - 基数和模数

that, like our public paint color, everyone gets to know... even the bad guys!
就像公开的油漆颜色，所有人都看的到，甚至坏人!

To send a message securely to John, I would pick a secret exponent: X.
为了安全向 John 发信息，我选一个秘密指数：X

Then, I’d calculate B to the power of X, modulo M.
然后算 B^X mod M 的结果

I send this big number over to John.
然后把这个大数字发给 John.

John does the same, picking a secret exponent Y, and sending me B to the Y modulo M.
John 也一样做，选一个秘密指数Y，然后把 B^Y mod M 的结果发我

To create a shared secret key,
为了算出 双方共用的密钥

I take what John sent me, and take it to the power of X, my secret exponent.
我把 John 给我的数，用我的秘密指数 X，进行模幂运算 (看上图)

This is mathematically equivalent to B to the XY modulus M.
数学上相等于 B的XY次方 模M

John does the same, taking what I sent to him to the power of Y, and we both end up with the exact same number!
John也一样做，拿我给他的数 进行模幂运算，最终得到一样的数

It’s a secret shared key, even though we never sent each other our secret number.
双方有一样的密钥，即使我们从来没给对方发过各自的秘密指数

We can use this big number as a shared key for encrypted communication, using something like AES for encryption.
我们可以用这个大数字当密钥，用 AES 之类的加密技术来加密通信

Diffie-Hellman key exchange is one method for establishing a shared key.
"Diffie-Hellman 密钥交换"是建立共享密钥的一种方法。

These keys that can be used by both sender and receiver, to encrypt and decrypt messages
双方用一样的密钥加密和解密消息，这叫"对称加密", 因为密钥一样

are called symmetric keys because the key is the same on both sides.
双方用一样的密钥加密和解密消息，这叫"对称加密", 因为密钥一样

The Caesar Cipher, Enigma and AES are all symmetric encryption.
凯撒加密，英格玛，AES 都是"对称加密"

There’s also asymmetric encryption, where there are two different keys
还有"非对称加密"，有两个不同的密钥

most often one that’s public and another that’s private.
一个是公开的，另一个是私有的

So, people can encrypt a message using a public key that
人们用公钥加密消息 \N 只有有私钥的人能解密

only the recipient, with their private key, can decrypt.
人们用公钥加密消息 \N 只有有私钥的人能解密

In other words, knowing the public key only lets you encrypt, but not decrypt – it’s asymmetric!
换句话说，知道公钥只能加密但不能解密 \N - 它是"不对称"的！

So, think about boxes with padlocks that you can open with a key.
想象一个可以锁上的盒子

To receive a secure message, I can give a sender a box and padlock.
为了收到安全的信息，我们可以给别人箱子和锁

They put their message in it and lock it shut.
别人把信息放箱子，然后锁起来

Now, they can send that box back to me and only I can open it, with my private key.
把盒子寄回给我，只有我的钥匙能打开

After locking the box, neither the sender,
上锁后，如果发件人或其他人想打开盒子 \N 除了暴力尝试没有其他办法.

nor anyone else who finds the box, can open it without brute force.
上锁后，如果发件人或其他人想打开盒子 \N 除了暴力尝试没有其他办法.

In the same way, a digital public key can encrypt something that can only be decrypted with a private key.
和盒子例子一样，公钥加密后只能私钥来解密.

The reverse is possible too: encrypting something with a
反过来也是可以的：私钥加密后 用公钥解密

private key that can be decrypted with a public key.
反过来也是可以的：私钥加密后 用公钥解密

This is used for signing, where a server encrypts data using their private key.
这种做法用于签名，服务器可以用私钥加密，

Anyone can decrypt it using the server's public key.
任何人都可以用服务器的公钥解密

This acts like an unforgeable signature,
就像一个不可伪造的签名

as only the owner, using their private key, can encrypt.
因为只有私钥的持有人 能加密

It proves that you're getting data from the right server or person, and not an imposter.
这能证明数据来自正确的服务器或个人，而不是某个假冒者

The most popular asymmetric encryption technique used today is RSA,
目前最流行的"非对称加密"技术是 RSA

named after its inventors: Rivest, Shamir and Adleman.
名字来自发明者： Rivest, Shamir, Adleman.

So, now you know all the "key" parts of modern cryptography:
现在你学会了现代密码学的所有"关键"部分：

symmetric encryption, key exchange and public-key cryptography.
对称加密，密钥交换，公钥密码学

When you connect to a secure website, like your bank,
当你访问一个安全的网站，比如银行官网

that little padlock icon means that your computer has used public key cryptography
绿色锁图标代表 用了公钥密码学

to verify the server key exchange to establish a secret temporary key,
验证服务器的密钥，然后建立临时密钥

and symmetric encryption to protect all the back-and-forth communication from prying eyes.
然后用对称加密保证通信安全

Whether you're buying something online, sending emails to BFFs,
不管你是网上购物，发邮件给朋友，还是看猫咪视频

or just browsing cat videos
不管你是网上购物，发邮件给朋友，还是看猫咪视频

cryptography keeps all that safe, private and secure.
密码学都在保护你的隐私和安全

Thanks cryptography!
谢啦密码学！
