Toshiba's Quantum Crypto Entry

Toshiba's Quantum Cryptography System provides one gigabit a second encrypted link with unparalleled security to bridge different sites. All traffic sent through the link is authenticated and encrypted using the IPSec standard. Uniquely, the system frequently refreshes the encryption key using an implementation of quantum cryptography absolutely secure from all possible attacks and with the fastest reported key generation rate. On a more personal level, the company's Network Display System provides anywhere, anytime performance through its ability to function as a personal computer, TV and video phone. All the user has to carry is a hand-held display terminal, which incorporates a wireless network interface to access various services over a wireless link. As the terminal is dedicated to supporting I/O functions it needs no on-board processing or personal data storage capabilities, enhancing its light weight and power efficiency.Demonstrations of both systems will underline the potential of tomorrow's HDN.
