Quantum cryptography unbreakable?

Laser cracks 'unbreakable' quantum communications

I have maintained for years that there is no security scheme that is uncrackable it is just a matter of are you smart enough and perhaps have enough money.


If a vendor tries to pitch a product to me and claims it is completely secure indirectly also tells me they don't really understand security and that their people are not smart enough to even consider how to attack it and succeed.


Quantum crypto was hailed as being uncrackable. I didn't believe it even though I knew relatively little about quantum anything.


Finally remember the Maginot Line.
