As hackers get more sophisticated in their cyber crime efforts, we need to look to new technology to make our systems more secure, and potentially unhackable. For some types of hacking, we already know the ultimate answer: quantum physics provides a way to share information with absolute security, guaranteed by the laws of nature. The basic quantum communication idea is simple and elegant. But simple ideas often crash into real-world practicalities. Fortunately, quantum physics research is providing even more sophisticated tools that will finish the job. The technology isn’t mature yet, but it is coming. The key to the problem Here’s the scenario: two parties, call them Alice and Bob, want to send secure messages over a network – perhaps credit card data for an online purchase. Let’s say they each have an identical list of random numbers that is private to them. They can use this list as a secret key to encode and send uncrackable messages. But how do they make the shared key in the first place? With conventional methods that don’t use quantum physics, Alice sends Bob a key that is made up of ordinary bits (0s and 1s) of information. But it is possible that […]
