Googles AI creates own Encryption

Looks like a very interesting articles and from my own perspective, quite possibly the way forward for secure communication.

Turn that computer off now!

In TLDR fashion (though its not terribly long in fairness);

This means robots will be able to talk to each other in ways that we – or other robots – won’t be able to crack. I, for one, welcome our robotic cryptographic overlords.

Fascinating concept.

Ultimately the researchers found that Bob and Alice were good at devising a solid encryption protocol on their own as long as they valued security.

I'm guessing that it shouldn't be too long before we see background functions used to devise an encryption protocols for 2 way communication.

I wonder if that will ever realistically be possible though. Even in that experiment it was thousands of iterations before they discovered a way that worked.

A library that created a unique encryption method for every n-way conversation would take security up several notches, but seems impractical for everyday use.

It has huge military and financial potential, but I'm not going to wait for my browser to go through 10,000 iterations before telling me it's now safe to log onto my online banking
