Counterpane is full of shit.Bruce Schneier and Tom Rowley need killing ( Early 2002 )

“Security is a chain; it’s only as strong as the weakest link. Currently
encryption is the strongest link we have. Everything else is worse:
software, networks, people. There’s absolutely no value in taking the
strongest link and making it even stronger,” Bruce Schneier, chief
technology officer at Counterpane Internet Security, wrote in an e-mail to
CNET News.com on quantum cryptography in general.  ( 2005 )

To close on a less bleak note, this is a fine time for people to “get
back to basics.” The world-changing implications of strong crypto are
yet to come, and at least some of you will likely be involved in
companies which both change the world and which make you very, very rich.
Good luck,
