The 3th Generation of the Chaebol Wants to Live Quietly - Chapter 1097

1097

If stability and reliability are not verified, it is just like a house of cards.

In fact, even the International Telecommunication Organization has included a separate security architecture.

It’s just included, but it hasn’t actually been done.

Even ETRI, which is leading the next-generation mobile communications standards, had no choice but to put this security aspect on the back burner due to system limitations.

And at the center of this was not Dr. Lee Ji-soo, but Helen.

Unlike Dr. Lee Ji-soo, who was an AI expert, Dr. Helen was a communications expert. She missed many opportunities while working with Dr. Lee Ji-soo.

But she didn’t really care about the mistakes she made.

I was satisfied just being next to Dr. Lee Ji-soo.

Her life changed thanks to Director Choi Min-hyeok.

Because Director Choi Min-hyeok stepped forward and pushed her into the ETRI project.

Even Helen didn’t quite understand the meaning of this when she first started doing it.

But as time went by, I realized that my perspective on myself had changed.

Her fame particularly peaked after the next generation of mobile communications standards were rolled out.

The reason ETRI did not experience many difficulties while developing next-generation mobile communication technology as if it was heading towards the ground was because Helen was at the center.

Once Helen’s abilities were recognized, she had no reason to lie about her abilities.

She worked on the next-generation mobile communications standards based on the experience she gained while completing her master’s and doctoral courses and the advice she received from Director Minhyeok Choi.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that she led the development of the test platform OS and the work on next-generation mobile communication standards.

Oh, of course, Dr. Lee Ji-soo helped Helen with her work, so on the surface it seemed like Dr. Lee Ji-soo was in charge, but in reality that wasn’t the case.

Helen was impressed by the fact that Director Choi Min-hyeok did not make any special moves during this process.

She also readily admitted that she had been prejudiced against Director Choi Min-hyeok.

Director Choi Min-hyeok, who called himself in that car.

In particular, he came out to the airport in person to pick her up.

‘…Director Minhyuk Choi.’

“… It’s been a while.”

“Oh, yes.”

I’ll be Dr. Helen, blushing slightly.

There was no man who took his eyes off the innocent look of the beautiful blonde.

“… … ?”

Director Choi Min-hyeok also tilted his head because he didn’t know English well.

This was the first time in his life or in his past that he had seen Helen like this.

“…Are you feeling unwell?”

“Oh, no.”

Helen immediately made an excuse. But she couldn’t look at Director Choi Min-hyeok’s face as comfortably as before. She kept avoiding eye contact.

Director Choi Min-hyeok recalled his past life memories in order to recall Helen’s image. He was worried that Helen might get upset.

‘Fuck, then I’m screwed.’

Lesbian Helen is a truly omnipotent character.

In fact, she is the type of person who wouldn’t do something if she didn’t like it even if you gave her hundreds of billions of dollars.

Persuasion was impossible.

‘Well, that makes it more believable. No matter how much Oh Sung Electronics’ Chairman Ahn Geon-min tries to scout him, it won’t work.’

That’s actually the case.

Dr. Lee Ji-soo also had similar tendencies to Helen.

Director Choi Min-hyeok smiled inwardly. Since he could always have two world-class geniuses by his side, his current worries were not that important.

“… Is there anything you need? I think you mentioned supercomputers a while ago, and I can install two or three more right away.”

“… No. It’s because of the time difference, so don’t worry too much.”

“…yes.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok tilted his head. Memories of the threesome with her came back to him. The moment was sweet, but the aftermath was hell.

‘Surely not?’

* * *

Director Choi Min-hyeok’s actions were something that was never seen before.

The person whom even the US President didn’t pay much attention to was Chief Choi Min-hyeok.

It was quite strange for him to be paying attention to just one woman.

Team Leader Jo Seong-don tilted his head at Director Choi Min-hyeok’s appearance.

He had a conversation with Manager Kim Myeong-jun through eye contact.

[Does Director Choi really like Helen?]

[That’s not it.]

[But why is it like that?]

[…well.]

Manager Kim Myeong-jun was also greatly embarrassed.

However, Director Choi Min-hyeok’s reaction was because he still did not know Helen’s true feelings at all.

No, actually he was busy working on the next generation of mobile communications that he was currently working on.

So he took out the notes he had prepared in advance and began explaining this and that to Helen.

Helen sighed at the sight of Director Choi Min-hyeok like that.

“…You don’t have a girlfriend?”

“Huh? What is that… … .”

Director Choi Min-hyeok was greatly embarrassed by the unexpected story.

However, he was also startled by the gazes of travelers coming and going from the airport.

In that gaze full of jealousy.

Helen was certainly a peerless beauty.

Strictly speaking, he attracted more attention than Dr. Lee Ji-soo.

The so-called blonde beauty.

And she was a sexy beauty with several PhDs.

Director Choi Min-hyeok didn’t know about such subtle details. However, he ended up laughing bitterly after seeing the expressions on the faces of Team Leader Jo Seong-don and Manager Kim Myeong-jun.

He gave Helen a quick nod to the parking lot after clearing up any misunderstandings by glaring at her.

Helen sighed at the sight.

“Have you ever dated a real woman?”

“That’s… … .”

Come to think of it, I’ve never dated a woman.

Because the woman that Director Choi Min-hyeok dated in his past life was known for money and drugs.

I have never been in love.

‘… It’s sad.’

Although Dr. Lee Ji-soo is there, the only reason she remained by Director Choi Min-hyeok’s side was because of her father’s will.

Only then did Helen stick out her tongue.

“I don’t think I knew anything about Director Choi Min-hyeok.”

“…What is your intention in saying that?”

Director Choi Min-hyeok couldn’t be happier when he suddenly received love advice from a lesbian.

Helen didn’t finish this topic even after she got into the car.

“You don’t feel anything when you look at my expression?”

Team Leader Jo Seong-don, who was sitting in the front seat, felt frustrated and gave a sidelong glance to Director Choi Min-hyeok.

However, Director Choi Min-hyeok could not understand the two people’s actions at all.

Because the other person is a lesbian.

“… Let’s talk about work.”

“Ha, that’s really disappointing.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok was also secretly angry.

“… I hope that disappointment continues.”

Helen was taken aback by Director Choi Min-hyeok’s cold words, but she ended up laughing. On the one hand, she was surprised to see this new type of man.

How can you act like that even when you’re right in front of me?

“… Let’s continue talking about work.”

“……yes.”

* * *

Director Choi Min-hyeok soon forgot about Helen’s strange reaction. The work he was doing was more important. What he had heard from Dr. Lee Ji-soo was that Helen was very interested in this next-generation communication technology.

But Helen, who was feeling uneasy for no reason, started to mention the standard encryption and integrity aspects of next-generation mobile communications one by one.

“… It was absolutely necessary to create an authentication mechanism between subscribers and service providers. However, ETRI overlooked this issue.”

Helen continued to vent her complaints, chewing out the ETRI engineer.

But on the other hand, she glanced at Director Choi Min-hyeok.

This work may have to be postponed due to testing of next-generation mobile communications standards, but Director Choi Min-hyeok did not think so.

He nodded as he looked over the results of several cryptographic algorithm design tests.

“It reflects all aspects such as confidentiality, integrity, authorization, and service availability.”

Helen shrugged.

“It was really hard. Director Choi Min-hyeok made a lot of unique requests.”

That’s actually the case.

The security features that Director Choi Min-hyeok mentioned had to be within the range that actual users could use.

That had to work to some extent even with poor testing platforms.

Hardware upgrades also had to be undertaken from the same perspective.

Research related to this was not conducted simply at the ETRI level.

“This is why companies like Intel and TI invested in ETRI.”

Helen knew that too, because it was precisely what she had suggested as an alternative.

“I had no choice. There was no answer without developing something new.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok did not specifically point that out.

“Can you make it on time?”

Helen let out a sigh.

“Honestly, isn’t it realistically difficult? It would take years to develop just one chip. The next generation of mobile communications hasn’t even been decided yet. Even the International Telecommunications Association is talking about it.”

“What about the International Telecommunications Association? Is it really the US government that is picking a fight?”

“Yes. I think there is talk that the US government should set its own next-generation communications standards.”

“Wouldn’t that be difficult?”

“CDMA was similar. I think the US government thinks that if they try, they can do it somehow.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok frowned.

“Could it be because of me?”

“Yes. They said they would release the next-generation mobile communications standard, but there are people who don’t believe it. I think there are a lot of complaints in the U.S. House of Representatives in particular.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok recalled one person who had put him on the blacklist.

“House of Representatives John Smith?”

“That’s right. He’s been busy these days. Well, the Clinton administration has been talking a lot about it, but they seem to be ignoring it.”

“That’s strange.”

“It’s not that strange. I guess they are really uncomfortable with investing in ETRI.”

“Ugh.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok thought things were really messed up. He thought things were going well so far. After Steven’s keynote speech, he just had to finish the short selling work.

But the problem was that Congressman John Smith was making moves at this time.

‘Did you notice?’

Then I couldn’t just leave things like this any longer.

I had to speed things up a bit.

‘I may have to thank Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo and the Han Young Ilbo.’

Director Minhyeok Choi specifically organized the algorithms related to the security protocol to be used later in Plimtz (IMT-2000).

He organized the algorithms he had created one by one, recalling his memories from his past life, or to be exact, what he had heard from Dr. Lee Ji-soo, or rather, Helen.

A representative example was the symmetric key technique related to integrity.

This is a pretty important piece, but it was a late bloomer.

Therefore, the meeting held in the main auditorium of ETRI was attended by so many people that there were no empty seats.

Director Choi Min-hyeok ignored the harsh stares as he was making a presentation to say as many things as possible.

“Techniques involving message authentication codes or tamper detection codes must be included.”

The algorithms he gave us one by one were as clean as a law book.

Even Helen was taken aback by the idea.

“If someone who doesn’t know heard this, it would be like someone who has first-hand experience using the IMT-2000 service.”

“Stop talking nonsense. Next is a countermeasure against misuse.”

This refers to cases where other user credentials are abused, including cases where the subscriber management database is directly infiltrated.

Strictly speaking, this is also a problem with existing CDMA services.

However, Director Choi Min-hyeok extracted only the essentials and reduced the packet size to the minimum.

The goal was to minimize the potential for problems in the system.

As expected of a genius, Helen immediately implemented Director Choi Min-hyeok’s idea and stuck out her tongue.

“… Is this really just an idea? How can it be implemented into code?”

“We also need to add the threat of user money, because we need to physically separate it.”

“What’s the answer to my question?”

“… signal processing for link hijacking must also be integrated with the encryption system.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok’s explanation included all the necessary parts, although it ignored Helen.

The ETRI researchers who were present in the auditorium together were all busy taking notes on the conversation between the two.

They couldn’t take their eyes off Helen even as she coded.

This is because Helen is the one who created most of the basics of the IMT-2000 test platform.

ETRI simply received the results Helen gave them and did some hard work.

This part was different from the CDMA exchange era.

It was inevitable.
