The fact that the laws of physics play a role in the security of quantum key
distribution (QKD) has often been misunderstood, as if the security of QKD
would be based \textit{only} of the laws of physics. The history of practical
QKD demonstrates how misleading such a stance may be. An assessment of the
latest developments shows that no threat seems unredeemable (in principle, QKD
can be made secure) but that any specific implementation will always include
some elements of trust. This leads us to guess that the field is going to split
in two directions: those who pursue really practical devices may have to
moderate their security claims; those who pursue ultimate security may have to
suspend their claims of usefulness. |
