Hey folks, crazy news: On Saturday 29.12.07, there was a successful 'entanglement based quantum key distribution' between two xo-laptops!!
QKD is a quantum-cryptographic scheme to securely distribute correlated random numbers between the communicating parties. At the 24C3, we (sj and aaron, chris, tano from olpc-austria) met people from the National University of Singapore, which brought the hardware of a full working kit for entanglement based QKD over a free space channel. They got interested on the xo, started playing with 2 of the laptops, and finally had success exchangig the keys between two xo laptops.
