SCIENTISTS WORKING ON THE EUROPEAN Union's Development of a Global Net- work for Secure Communication based on Quantum Cryptography report that they have successfully tested a system that will lead to the mercialization of the nearly unbreakable encryption technology within the next three to four years.

Quantum cryptography is (or was) the stuff of Star Trek-like imagination. If SECOQCs work proves true, if s a fantastic breakthrough in security technology. Users will avoid the entire sticky issue of key management, since every quantum key is randomly generated and unique for each use. And the keys themselves will be unbreakable since they will require special receivers to collect and ...
