I'll preface my remarks by declaring that I do not have the technical
background
to formally defend my following statement. Nonetheless, I believe it
to be
scientifically accurate.
Professor Gisin says, in part, «... quantum cryptography exploits the
laws of
quantum physics to guarantee in an absolute fashion the confidentiality
of data
transmission. « Quantum ryptography constitutes a revolution in the
field of
information security » says Professor Nicolas Gisin, of the University
of
Geneva. « It is the only solution offering long term confidentiality
and which
cannot be compromised by scientific or technological advances ».
I suggest that a more accurate statement would be, "It is the only
solution
offering long term confidentiality and which cannot be compromised by
*CURRENTLY KNOWN* scientific or technological advances".
I, for one, don't know where, or when, the next Einstein, or Feynman,
or Hawking
will arrive on the scene. I certainly don't know what they will tease
out of
nature's secret treasure trove.
