Man, when she sees it, she calls it, and she's ALWAYS looking for it... now if Microsoft would just listen to this angry-lookin' Polska (I think she's angry FOR all of us!) and take some of her advice... maybe even hire her (on a consultant basis ONLY, please -- if she's an employee, I fear they may corrupt even HER).
Network security systems that rely on the laws of quantum mechanics to create hack-proof networks are arriving in the form of practical products that are easily integrated into optical networks.
The revamped system produces and distributes public keys in real-time. Use of the Nitrox encryption processors makes it possible to implement a virtual private network using standard IPsec protocols and an unhackable key distribution system.
Secret keys for one-time functions let only the receiver decrypt the scrambled bits, but in practice even the most secret key can be found by a supercomputer using trial and error. In contrast, quantum cryptography is secure no matter how fast a hacker's computer is because the technique harnesses the laws of physics to guarantee security.

yup. only that in this case, we become the "phishes"..
