So what if someone decided to DOS quantum communications by spying on all of them? You don't need to be successful at deciphering the communications; you just need to tamper with many of them to make a whole bunch untrusted, and eventually others stop trusting the whole channel because most messages have false interception positives.
- OldSchoolJohnny 10y agoExactly what I was thinking, if it's easy to tell they've been intercepted by a third party that infers it's possible to do it so what's to stop a DOS attack making it useless?
- parineum 10y agoRight. The only difference between that and what we have now is the ability to detect tampering.
