"Nearly Unbreakable" Encryption Scheme Inspired By Human Biology

rjmarvin (3001897) writes "Researchers at the U.K.'s Lancaster University have reimagined the fundamental logic behind encryption, stumbling across a radically new way to encrypt data while creating software models to simulate how the human heart and lungs coordinate rhythms. The encryption method published in the American Physical Society journal and filed as a patent entitled 'Encoding Data Using Dynamic System Coupling,' transmits and receive multiple encrypted signals simultaneously, creating an unlimited number of possibilities for the shared encryption key and making it virtually impossible to decrypt using traditional methods. One of the researchers, Peter McClintock, called the encryption scheme 'nearly unbreakable.'

I'll remove "Data In, Garbage Out" from my features list.

But the link is nearly unbreakable!

I wonder if this article got accepted due to a typo. Maybe a reviewer of the article wanted to comment "this is probably secure", but mistyped it as "this is provably secure".
