This is starting to turn around. More vendors are questioning the murk.
While I'm quite skeptical that QKD will prove of practical use, I do think it's
worth investigating. The physics are nice, and it provides an interesting and
different way of thinking about cryptography. I think that there's a
non-trivial chance that it will some day give us some very

Very interesting physics, but quite useless in the real world.
I wonder why

I agree. What I don't understand is why people are trying to
*commercialize* it, or claiming that it is of practical use as it
stands.
The physics

You might be able to make it to CNN if your spin is really good.

Thanks for this feedback.
No, no, and no.
No, because I asked the question as a matter of security analysis

But even without this self-restraint, there would be no spin for a CNN
story. Dedication to

There are some concrete complexity results - the kind of stuff Rogoway does,
for example - but the ones I've seen tend to be in the block
