SIDE NOTE: I think it would be wise to maintain a healthy skepticism about this claim. Although the fancy math and crypto may be very good indeed, a huge weakness that digital mechanisms always have is that, once any tiny vulnerability is found, that vulnerability can be silently and relentlessly attacked with massive automated computing power . . . rendering that tiny vulnerability not so tiny after all.
