SUZHOU, China, March 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On 4 March, a research team led by Professor Jintai Ding, Dean of the School of Mathematics and Physics at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), set a new code-breaking world record for the Lattice Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) in the International Open Darmstadt SVP Challenge. This marks a significant achievement in strengthening cybersecurity in the age of quantum computing.

The rapid advancement of quantum computing technology poses a serious threat to the current encryption methods used for e-commerce, telecommunications and digital signatures. Finding alternative encryption solutions has, therefore, become a global priority. Lattice SVP-based cryptography has been identified as a promising next-generation cryptographic standard capable of safeguarding sensitive data from quantum computer attacks.

To address vulnerabilities in cryptographic standards, the cryptography community established the global SVP challenge in 2010, attracting leading mathematicians and computer scientists worldwide to explore the limits of lattice SVP.

Professor Ding says: “From a research perspective, our new record for solving the problem enhances our understanding of lattice-based cryptography’s security foundations, providing empirical evidence to inform future post-quantum cryptographic standards.”

“In practical terms, it helps security experts more accurately assess the boundaries of existing cryptographic systems and guide the development of secure digital infrastructure.”

“The security of lattice-based cryptography fundamentally depends on the computational difficulty of solving the SVP,” explains Professor Ding. “The problem’s difficulty can be increased by raising the number of dimensions of the lattice. The more dimensions there are, the harder it becomes to solve, thereby enhancing the system’s security.”

With the new record, Professor Ding’s team has successfully solved the SVP for 200 dimensions, the highest dimension currently supported for submission on the SVP Challenge website.

“Each additional 10 dimensions increases the computational difficulty by roughly an order of magnitude,” says Professor Ding. “A decade ago, the record stood at about 130 dimensions and reaching 200 dimensions seemed almost impossible. Yet today, we’ve solved it with relatively modest academic computing resources. This represents not only technological progress but also a triumph of human ingenuity.”

Professor Ding notes that current cryptographic standards would become vulnerable if SVP problems of around 400 dimensions could be solved, potentially compromising global digital infrastructure.

He says: “Solving the 200-dimensional SVP problem not only showcases XJTLU’s research strength at the forefront of cryptography but also provides important references for global lattice-based cryptographic security research.”

KASSEL, Germany, March 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LK Technology (stock code: 00558.HK), a global leader in die casting solutions, made a notable appearance at the prestigious Global GIGA-Casting Congress 2025 in Kassel, Germany. This event, dedicated to advancing the application of integrated die casting in Europe, featured a keynote speech by Gao Zhan, General Manager of LK Europe. He introduced GIGA CASTING 2.0, emphasizing its core attributes: Competence, Evolution, Full Stack Cost, and Flexibility, which are set to transform the die casting landscape.

These evolutions are specifically designed to upgrade for more powerful machine and flexible solution to combine with agile module “TPI”. This allows for the use of both aluminium and magnesium on the same machine. And for the giga body structure parts, LK introduced new innovative cross-origin manufacturing processes to enhance machinery performance and easier integration. Most impressively, the ‘full stack concept’ was first proposed at this meeting, directly addressing current market pain points and needs, stemming from a deep understanding of this technology. In a comprehensive consideration, GIGA CASTING 2.0 represents a new exploration not only of technical issues but also of a brand-new manufacturing capex investment concept, marking a significant step forward in the industry.

In the speech, Gao Zhan emphasized, “The next phase of giga casting manufacturing is about solving complex problems with simplified technology. As pioneers in the field, we are not just leveraging LK and GIGA CASTING technology; we are at the forefront of driving global change through technological advancement. Our vision extends beyond traditional supplier relationships as we actively seek deep, collaborative partnerships that foster innovation and growth.”

The GIGA CASTING 2.0 platform is designed with a strong focus on customer benefits and cost-effectiveness. From the design phase to process implementation, infrastructure considerations, and dedicated machinery performance, LK Technology ensures that complex technologies are accessible, easy to use and flexible for more variant needs. This approach highlights the company’s dedication to achieve efficiency while pushing even higher standards of quality.

Over the past 46 years, LK Technology has continuously developed a comprehensive intelligent manufacturing system and a new supply chain framework for die-casting equipment. Under its “Globalization 2.0” strategy, LK Technology is expanding into new markets, concentrating on smart manufacturing solutions across various industries. At the same time, the needs and solutions of each local market will be highlighted in strategy and followed in pragmatic operations. The establishment of multiple international production bases is helping LK to bolster its global influence and market presence worldwide.

BANGKOK, March 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ms. Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Prime Minister of Thailand, met with Mr Bo Sun, Chief Marketing Officer of Trip.com Group, a leading global online travel platform, yesterday at 11:30 a.m. local time in Berlin. This significant meeting underscores Trip.com Group’s dedication to enhancing tourism growth and attracting international visitors to Thailand.

During the meeting, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra expressed her gratitude to Trip.com Group for its recognition of the importance of establishing operations in Thailand. She emphasized the Thai government’s commitment to implementing effective tourism policies and welcomed suggestions that could further enhance the nation’s tourism promotion strategies. The Prime Minister expressed confidence that Thailand will emerge as a premier destination for travelers this year.

Trip.com Group has a history of successful collaboration with the Thai government, working closely with the Ministry of Tourism and Sports and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). The company is poised to support the Thai government’s “Amazing Thailand Grand Tourism and Sports Year 2025” initiative, and both parties are optimistic about Thailand’s readiness to solidify its status as a major global tourism destination. With robust governmental support, 2025 is anticipated to be a transformative year for Thai tourism.

Mr Bo Sun emphasised the importance of partnerships between the private sector and the government to enhance the travel experience and strengthen Thailand’s tourism economy. “We are committed in collaborating with the government to promote sustainable tourism and attract a diverse range of travellers to this beautiful and dynamic country that is full of cultural heritage,” stated Mr Bo Sun. “Since 2018, we have worked closely with the Thai government to position Thailand as a premier global travel destination through various campaigns. Leveraging our global reach, advanced technology and marketing expertise in attracting travellers to major events, such as world-class music festivals and concerts, we look forward to exploring new collaborations with the Thai government to enrich the travel experience for global travellers with innovative festivals and initiatives.”
