Ultrasecure Quantum Communications Over Thin Air

SlashDotIDOne writes "Well, given a hundred years at university and a few extra titles to my name, I'd be comfortable trying to summarize the article so don't take what I say at face value. Apparently British and German researchers have found a way to use quantum crypto through the air, thus allowing it to be used to communicate with satellites, etc. A very secure form since you know whether a message was intercepted, rather hard to tamper with ;).
