Clever. I will talk the DoD into implementing it with Google Tap!

Subject: Brin: Quantum Cryptography Outperformed By Thermodynamics
Oh by the way, many of you probably received my annual newsletter during the
last couple of days. So you know about my book tour schedule, with in-person
events in Seattle, Portland, the Bay Area, LA and San Diego area.
Also see http://www.davidbrin.com for info about a Tweet extravaganza on

The idea is straightforward. Alice wants to send Bob a message via
an ordinary wire. At each end of the wire, there are two different
resistors that

But Eve, who is listening in to the publicly
available noise, does not know which resistor was connected at each
end and cannot work it out either because the laws of thermodynamics
prevent the extraction of this information from this kind of signal.
So why

Eve cuts the wire between Alice and Bob (AB line) and insert her own
node that connects to Alice (AE line) and Bob (BE Line) individually.
Alice can't tell the difference between the AB line or the AE Line
and sets her resisters. Eve sets her resisters connected

I think you can be forgiven, particularly if there's any chance that your Bay

Between ALL communications channels, even the public ones? That's
asking rather a lot of Eve. I think there are a lot of people who
would use a cryptographic system that required an additional open
channel, confident that they could somehow route

evening, I'd like to see you, and one or two others maybe, too?

Sure wish I could participate, but I'm headed to the Big Boulder

I don't have a clue what you're talking about, Dr. Brin, but it's good to know
you're still findding the time to keep up with brin-l. It's your fault that I
got sucked into joining Facebook. Your wall is far too interesting and turning
into a time suck!~)
At every stop, there should be a What's next? question.
