Quantum Cryptography Cracked
posted in Crypto, News & media on Dec 31st, 2009
Quote from Bruce Schneiers page : This presentation will show the first experimental implementation of an eavesdropper for quantum cryptosystem. Although quantum cryptography has been proven unconditionally secure, by exploiting physical imperfections (detector vulnerability) we have successfully built an intercept-resend attack and demonstrated eavesdropping under realistic conditions on an installed quantum key distribution line. The [...]
