Quantum cryptography was thought to be much more secure than all classical cryptography schemes.
This extremely interesting presentation shows a successful attack of an existing quantum key distribution system exploiting a photon detector vulnerability which is probably present in all existing devices. Without Alice and Bob losing their faith in their secure communication, the group recorded 100% of the supposedly secret key.
I have a great interest in quantum cryptography. The above presentation proves another technological assumption wrong.
