Security Light?
An article in CNN.com sourced from Reuters here - http://edition.cnn.com/2005/TECH/science/05/03/australia.cryptology.reut/index.html - heralds the possibility of hacker proof code by using a microscopic diamond to focus a photon beam of light.
“When it comes to cryptography, the problem is getting the key” said Melbourne University research fellow James Rabeau. “The single-photon beam makes for an unstealable key.” Time will tell.
