Harvard Prof Says He Has Unbreakable Code
28 Comments
Harvard professor Michael Rabin says that with the help of his doctoral student they have created a mathematical proof that could create an unbreakable and reusable code. Unbreakable codes have been created in the past, but none have been reusable like Rabin claims his code is. His proof relies on a stream of randomly generated characters that is then decoded by a mathematical formula. Once decoding is complete the stream simply disappears, making the code reusable as it leaves nothing for hackers to trace, according to the Associated Press report. The code is not yet avaiable commercially.
