NY-based MagiQ (http://www.magiqtech.com/) has now started commercial shipments
of its quantum cryptography systems, which it claims is the first
commercially available device of its type.
Quantum cryptography goes a step further than electronic cryptography through
its employment of a stream of photons, the quantum properties of which
determine the key. The fun part is that if an intruder observes or
intercepts the transmission, those properties get changed.
