scientificblogging.com — In the internet age, when 120,000,000 smart people on Digg can see an article about your technology, it takes some real courage to use the term "unbreakable", but the guys at NIST are doing just that.They say they have a system that can perform an unbreakable encryption, transmission and decryption of a video signal in real time over long range

If it can be decrypted by the reciever at all, then it isn't unbreakable. Even if it takes a thousand-year brute force routine.

@missingnoh4xCountless people on here have already explained why a one-time pad is mathematically proven to be unbreakable, and yet here you are spouting the same uninformed bollocks. Why don't you try understanding the subject first?

120,000,000 users on digg?I'd be shocked if this site has more than 15,000 regulars.

@tbo0You answered on question I posted above (in another thread) about MitM attacks, but I still contend that the pad will be reused, especially when transmitting large amounts of data, otherwise you would have to transmit a pad the size of the data being sent (which has got to be at a huge cost), and if you send that much info via the secure quantum connection, why even bother sending the data over the web if you can just send it via the quantum channels?

This article does not really explain too much about how it's done. All they say is that there is a new form of encryption that runs over fiber. Nothing jumped out at me that said wow.I found a different article that is more credible about the encryption that another technology offers. They can only do it over metal cable but it works. They are able to make the encryption key the same length as the entire data stream making it impossible to decode the data unless you are at one end or the other. It's done by using random resistance on both ends of the cable flipping the bit depending on which side had the bigger resistor.Check it out.<a class="user" href="http://www.newscientisttech.com/channel/tech/mg19426055.300-noise-keeps-spooks-out-of-the-loop.html">http://www.newscientisttech.com/channel/tech/mg19426055.300-noise-keeps-spooks-out-of-the-loop.html</a>

Umm, do you even know what brute force means?

There is another dimension – where the crypto is secure, but the key holders are less than honourable for one of any number of reasons.
Recently I put this proposition together with a working example to support my patent submission.
