Quantum Crypto in the Real World

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the people-really-use-this-stuff dept.

bednarz writes "Swiss officials are using quantum cryptography technology to protect voting ballots cast in the Geneva region of Switzerland during parliamentary elections to be held Oct. 21, marking the first time this type of advanced encryption will be used for election protection purposes. "We would like to provide optimal security conditions for the work of counting the ballots," said Robert Hensler, the Geneva State Chancellor. "In this context, the value added by quantum cryptography concerns not so much protection from outside attempts to interfere as the ability to verify that the data have not been corrupted in transit between entry and storage.""

    You ended your sentence with a preposition. If you weren't one of the unwashed masses who fuck around in English class, you would have known better than to end a sentence with a preposition.

    Here is my correction of your nonsense in words that are actually in your vocabulary, you fucking useless idiot.

    DON'T END A SENTENCE WITH THE WORD "WITH!!!!!" Now go repeat high school. You obviously didn't learn anything the first time.

    What's worse is when it's erect and you try so hard to fit it up your ass, that you bend it too far down and it snaps in half.

    Believe me, that'll ruin your day.

    Of course, the mods who mod this down have an equally grave problem. They can't possibly get their dick up their ass because it's already occupied by their head.

    you change the super informative and insightful, yet brilliantly funny, comment which I have posted about quantum cryptography into this post that will only be enjoyed if your a grammar Nazi.
