I was reading Bruce's recent post on Quantum Crypto and couldn't believe what I read. I'm horrified:
While I like the science of quantum cryptography -- my undergraduate
degree was in physics -- I don't see any commercial value in it. I
don't believe it solves any security problem that needs solving. I
don't believe that it's worth paying for, and I can't imagine anyone
but a few technophiles buying and deploying it. Systems that use it
don't magically become unbreakable, because the quantum part doesn't
address the weak points of the system.
No commercial value? Doesn't solve any security problem that needs solving? Isn't worth paying for? Only a few folks buying and deploying it!?
Hell, I'm writing a business plan right now and going for VC funding! This is obviously the next big thing! After all, this is mantra that the entire security industry is predicated upon.
Silly Bruce.
