(unbreakable message transmission system) (includes related articles) Authors: Bennett, Charles H.; Brassard, Gilles; Ekert, Artur K. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subjects: Quantum theory_Usage Cryptography_Innovations Reference #: A12677141 ========================================================================== Abstract: Quantum techniques have been used to develop a system that allows two parties to exchange information in absolute secrecy. Quantum cryptographic devices use individual photons of light and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Eavesdropping causes a disturbance that alerts the legitimate parties. ========================================================================== Full Text COPYRIGHT Scientific American Inc. 1992 DCF Who has an ASCII copy if ayone wants one. --- WinQwk 2.0b#1165
