Dave

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.
