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. -- -- Cordially, Bob Rosenberg, Principal R.G. Rosenberg & Assoc. Public Policy Consulting & Advocacy P.O.
