Quantum mechanics enables location-based cryptography

http://www.cwi.nl/2010/1085/Quantum_mechan...ed_cryptography


Research of Serge Fehr of the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in Amsterdam in collaboration with Nishanth Chandran, Ran Gelles and Rafail Ostrovsky from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Vipul Goyal from Microsoft Research India, shows that quantum mechanics makes location-based cryptography possible. This new type of cryptography doesn’t need the use of cryptographic keys. The results of the research will be presented in October 2010 at the Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS 2010, Las Vegas, Nevada)
"Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them."
