OK, they've figured out how to store and transmit data in a very dense 
fashion:

But:

"Reading out the data on a light pulse is limited by the same 
electronics that 
generate them in current systems, so a "decompressing" scheme would 
need to be 
implemented on the receiving end."

They haven't yet figured out how to read them.

Who needs one-way encryption?

Um-m-m...  Passwd file??
