Please stop giving articles titles like this. You're pretty muching toeing the line at making this entire article a FUD piece.

First off, quantum cryptography is not a holy grail. There are no holy grails in security, period. It's always an arms race. Any belief to the contrary, and you're not only fooling yourself, you're putting those assets you protect in danger.

Secondly, quantum cryptography, while innovate, and definitely useful, is not a swiss army knife. It cannot replace a PKI, it cannot be used to encrypt stored files, etc. so many articles out there compare quantum cryptography to things like Blowfish and RSA, and start talking about key sizes and what not. All of this is pointless: you cannot compare apples and oranges.

Seriously, stop this holy grail B.S. No single technology is going to stop every single possible attack.
