Impenetrable encryption

November 8, 2005

Known mostly as the “Epr-paradox” , a theory suggested by the mighty Albert Einstein gives us an idea to formulate an encryption procedure which is virtually impenetrable. In quantum mechanics, the EPR paradox is a thought experiment which demonstrates that the result of a measurement performed on one part of a quantum system can have an instantaneous effect on the result of a measurement performed on another part, regardless of the distance separating the two parts. This runs counter to the intuition of special relativity, which states that information cannot be transmitted faster than the speed of light.

Lately I found an article on an Australian IT ezine (thanks to digg) about this EPR-paradox being used as a method to encrypt information. If this Paradox indeed becomes an encryption stratgy, I’m afraid Hackers and cyber-infiltrators might be in big trouble :( But as evolution theories suggests, ideas and ingenuity spurr in the same fashion as life itself. So who knows, some ingenious hacker might one day crack the code of this paradox and make even Einstein look stupid.
