There's a good chance they're perfectly correct in what they're saying, in that the encryption is truly perfect and completely unbreakable (at the moment!). But;
the technology they're basing this encryption on isn't much use to the Internet as it currently stands.

What it does allow for though, is for true encryption on intermediary "hops". Now, that is sexy!
