Following Eric Snowden’s leaking of NSA privacy breaches,
there has been an increase in interest in quantum cryptology -- the securing of
data via streams of light. Because
quantum cryptology is thought to be uncrackable, it is understandable that many
businesses are interested in its potential.
For organizations, the notion of such security is something
that cannot be ignored. But how much should a company be willing to invest
researching costly theoretic technology when history is littered with cracked
“uncrackable” codes. Just peruse the
comments section of The Verge’s article on quantum cryptology to see how
quickly the pursuit to crack it manifests.
While the potential ROI on quantum technology is arguably
limitless. But so, then, is the risk of
failure. Who will be the first to
attempt to implement quantum security into their organizational systems?
