If implemented on a wide scale, quantum key distribution technology could ensure truly secure commerce, banking, communications and data transfer.
A small device developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory uses the truly random spin of light particles as defined by laws of quantum mechanics to generate a random number for use in a cryptographic key that can be used to securely transmit information between two parties. Quantum key distribution represents a foolproof cryptography method that may now become available to the general public, thanks to a licensing agreement between Los Alamos and Whitewood Encryption Systems, LLC ( http://www.whitewoodencryption.com/ ). Los Alamos scientists developed their particular method for quantum cryptography after two decades of rigorous testing inside of the nation's premier national security science laboratory.
