    Will be interesting to see if this takes off.. but €11million isnt much when youre
    trying to develop a new secure communication system..

    To be honest with the budget some of the intelligence services have in the US, they
    are probably working on something that will counteract this already or have
    something similar in place.. :rolleyes:

    This has already taken off. To a certain degree. You can use Quantum Crypto to establish a secure key, and then use standard crypto to secure the connection. I believe that the key exchange is provably secure but I'm probably wong on that, so if you are interested, check it out.

    But anyway, the pentagon has a link to somewhere over QC. Can't remember where the connection goes to. Range isn't great though, something like 50km I think.
