We barely even understand how quantum entanglement works, let alone being so sure that this sort of method for cryptography couldn't be bypassed in the future.

- jessriedel 13y agoIt provably can't be broken unless quantum mechanics is wrong. And all cryptographic protocols are potentially insecure if you introduce new physics.
- zitterbewegung 13y agoJust because its proven to be not broken doesn't mean you can't attack the way its implemented. They exploit the error rate in the system and this allows them to break the encryption.
