In which case calling it a "telepathic key exchange scheme" might be quite appropriate :-)
I don't think that's what was meant. After all, using telepathy as a secure channel, you'd still need a comm protocol. The last time I checked protocols and algorithms are one and the same. Since elementrix doesn't use algorithms, we shouldn't defame them by claiming they've invented secure telepathy. Now wouldn't that be interesting to patent? (One wonders if elementrix employees occasionally indulge in guilty glances at Knuth and Sedgewick without their bosses' knowledge.)
