Information theoretic security by the laws of classical physics — mentioned by dhx

After reading through the paper[1] it appears that the only security afforded is an ability to detect energy fluctuations caused by a MITM attacker? A public channel is then assumed to exist to allow both parties to broadcast the monitored energy levels to each other for comparison (evidently over a high bandwidth link and with low latency). A further assumption appears to be made that an attacker is unable to perform a MITM attack on the public broadcast link. I am naturally sceptical of research of this nature that does not mention: * practical implementation issues such as the required…
