Encryption Networking Security Technology

Behind the First Secure Quantum Crypto Network 51

schliz writes "Researchers behind the world's largest quantum encrypted network said the technology could secure business networks inside six years. The prototype Quantum Key Distribution network was built by the Secure Communication Based On Quantum Cryptography (SECOQC) group last year. It is described in a journal paper published by the Institute of Physics this week, which includes details on how it is based on the trusted-repeater paradigm."

    What you call a "fact" is a conjecture. Wanting something to be true does not make it so.

    Also you do not understand the security model. The assumption is not that "channels are switched",
    as there are no redundant channels in a standard deployment. The Assumption is that the ability
    to detect evasdropping will prevent people from trying.

    Interesting dicrepancy between knowledge of the subject matter and level of aggressiveness
    in your posting. I suggest seeking professional help.

    .AES-256 and RSA-3072 is strong enough..

    AES-256?
    You mean AES-110, right?
