Why Vienna? The sausage house needs protection?

Re: 'Unbreakable' encryption unveiled....
Yes, completely unbreakable. Unfortunately, the password is "1234", the same as streaker69's luggage.
It isn't random, it's the "other" AI trying to find an equal. What's the matter Val, didn't read Neuromancer?Leave a comment:

unbreakable = not understood yet
Time + knowledge + tools = cracked (oops i meant to say hacked sorry) political correctness looms. A crude but effective hack would be physically breaking the link between the quantum servers. FOC is not indestructible buried or strung on a pole. Chainsaws and shovels are good for this. In time a more delicate hack should appear.Leave a comment:

Re: 'Unbreakable' encryption unveiled....
Simple. Nothing is truly random. Given time, computing power and AHAH moments, nothing is impossible to replicate. If you are interested, investigate NASA's work on repeated audio patterns from space noise.

Re: 'Unbreakable' encryption unveiled....
I seem to recall reading about 20 years ago in Popular Science that they (whomever they may be) was recording space noise to use as a key for encryption. I wonder where that project went to? I believe the reason for using space noise was they couldn't find anything more random.Leave a comment:

Jackalope, that is a MOST awesome question! There have been many claims to "unbreakable" encryption. No encryption is unbreakable. Difficult to break, perhaps. but not impossible. Even DNA encryption (mentioned a few years ago) is not unbreakable. Given the facts of the DNA sequence (and unfortunately law enforcement and the .mil have made gaining this information easier), one only needs to devolve the password (if any is required).
Quantum physics has always fascinated me. And the idea of quantum crypto keys is right sexy. Theoretically, those can also be broken. Given the facts in the key, one does not have to replicate the point in time the key is devolved, only the circumstances of the point in time that the key is devolved. If it is two point encryption (algorithm devolved from point in time and password) it would not be difficult to break. Three point encryption? Well, I will just have to cut off your finger. :-)
But why are you even considering this? I suppose that one would only use something like this for Ub3er ultra secret squi33l sPy stuffs...or to secure one's horde of twinkies. :-D
I am not a "hard" scientist and have not tested this, obviously; but boy! Would I love to!

They only say it's unbreakable, but at the quantum level, you cannot tell if it's broken or not, plus all computers that use it must be kept in a box with a cat.Leave a comment:

'Unbreakable' encryption unveiled....
Perfect secrecy has come a step closer with the launch of the world's first computer network protected by unbreakable quantum encryption at a scientific conference in Vienna.
The network connects six locations across Vienna and in the nearby town of St Poelten, using 200 km of standard commercial fibre optic cables.
Quantum cryptography is completely different from the kinds of security schemes used on computer networks today.

Just sending this your way in case you missed it. Opinions anyone? Unbreakable?
