Quantum Cryptography


Take the Time to Break Quantum Encryption -- Rachel Ehrenberg  -- Science News  -- November 12, 2008
Quantum Cryptography

Time travel, such as, say, through a “wormhole,” appears to make it possible to distinguish quantum information that usually can’t be distinguished. That ability would disrupt the absolute security of quantum encryption, theoretical physicist Todd Brun and collaborators report online in the quantum physics archive.


'Unbreakable' Encryption Unveiled -- Roland Pease  -- BBC News  -- October 9, 2008
Quantum Cryptography

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.


NSA and Army on Quest for Quantum Physics Jackpot -- Staff  -- Network World  -- October 28, 2008
Quantum Cryptography

The US Army Research Office and the National Security Agency (NSA) are together looking for some answers to their quantum physics questions on quantum computing and cryptography.


Quantum encryption at the verge of commercial use -- Christoph Hammerschmidt  -- EE Times  -- October 9, 2008
Quantum Cryptography

A group of international researchers and Siemens Austria has demonstrated in Vienna the transmission of quantum-encrypted messages across commercial telecommunication links. The achievement could bring quantum encryption close to commercial deployment.


Space Station Could Beam Secret Quantum Codes by 2014 -- JR Minkel  -- Scientific American  -- June 9, 2008
Quantum Cryptography

University of Vienna researchers hope to send an experiment to the International Space Station (ISS) by the middle of the next decade that would pave the way for transcontinental transmission of secret messages encoded using quantum entanglement.


Calculating the Quantum Nightmare -- Stephen Page  -- Betterhumans.com  -- September 13, 2004
Cryptography

Stephen Page argues that given the capability of quantum computers to invalidate cryptography techniques, society should "create safeguards, standards and laws to prevent people from using quantum computers to wreak destruction."


Encryption promises 'unbreakable' codes -- Sam Varghese  -- The Age  -- November 28, 2003
Quantum Cryptography

Code-makers could be on the verge of winning their ancient arms race with code-breakers. After 20 years of research, an encryption process is emerging that is considered unbreakable because it employs the mind-blowing laws of quantum physics.


Quantum leap for secret codes -- Staff  -- BBC News  -- June 5, 2003
Cryptography

British researchers say they are close to producing an off-the-shelf system that exploits quantum physics to create a secure communications channel.


Quantum Communication Between the Stars? -- Seth Shostak  -- Space.com  -- May 22, 2003
Physics

Walter Simmons, a physicist at the University of Hawaii, together with his colleague, Professor Sandip Pakvasa, have come up with a clever scheme that would allow interstellar broadcasters to keep the coordinates of their home planet secret by taking advantage of advances in quantum cryptography.


Light at End of Encryption Tunnel -- Louise Knapp  -- Wired News  -- November 21, 2002
Physics

Quantum encryption is about to make life much more difficult for Internet spies. Not only will it make data uncrackable, the new technology also speeds up the increasingly slow process of sending coded messages over the Internet.
