Any time you use a device to communicate information—an email, a text message, any data transfer—the information in that transmission crosses the open internet, where it could be intercepted. Such communications are also reliant on internet connectivity, often including wireless signal on either or both ends of a transmission.

But what if two—or 10, or 100, or 1,000—entities could be connected in such a way that they could communicate information without any of those security or connectivity concerns?

That is certainly what the headline sounds like, but really they are just eliminating a portion of the information required to be transmitted over classical channels.

It seems cool, but is rather limited compared to what you propose.

(The underlying issues with what you propose are better covered by the other guy.)
