Re: quantum hype

[Matt Crawford]

I'm always stuck on that little step where Alice tells Bob what basis 
she used for each photon sent.  Tells him how?  They need integrity 
protection and endpoint authentication for N bits of basis.  Is the 
quantum trick converting those N bits to N/2 privacy-protected bits 
really as exciting as it's made out to be?
