By the University of St Andrew's.
Seems like some decent work is being done there. Governments might be happy about this from their own perspective however, when they are going after terrorists etc. It won't be so good.

Do you have a source which isn’t the Daily Mail?
I don’t fancy darkening my screen by clicking on that link

I thought Faith had done this already. His ramblings are impossible to crack.

True, but they are suggesting that even quantum computers won't be able to crack it.

Twenty odd years ago a guy in this country invented a hard drive security system that made the data impossible to get into. His reward was the security services turning up and confiscating all his computers, records and notes and leaving him with a writ threatening a long prison sentance if he ever re-invented the system.

The only way it would be uncrackable would be if they put all the inventors against a wall & shot them. The Pharaohs pioneered this method a few millennia back.

Pah. The one-time code is completely random and cannot be broken. Granted it can only be used once but...

Not really, as I understand it it's the technological equivalent of "this message will self destruct"
