[00:05]<veltas> Quantum comms/networks are supposed to be able to solve this issue
[00:06]<veltas> With fibre optics you can receive a bit of light that runs through the cable, the interference caused is very minor and indistinguishable from normal sources of interference. With quantum networks you can't observe what's sent without changing it, and you can detect if anyone else has observed it too.
[00:08]<Quantos> Well, with any fibre network they can detect a splice or insertion point
[00:08]<Quantos> In fact they can tell you precisely where it is
[00:09]<veltas> Have a look at how they did snooped on it
[00:10]<Quantos> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_time-domain_reflectometer
[00:10]<Quantos> The interference is always measurable
[00:13]<veltas> But is it distinguishable?
[00:15]<Quantos> According to Richard A Steenbergen it is
[00:15]<Quantos> TeamNANONG
[00:16]<Quantos> Wherever they have any insertion they are also only seeing a tiny portion of the signal
[00:17]<Quantos> There can be a lot of channels on one fibre, if I understand it right
[00:19]<Quantos> Of course that depends on the precision and quality of the OTDR
[00:20]<Quantos> There are Full feature OTDR and then there are hand held and break locators
[00:20]<Quantos> I dunno how much of this I'm getting and how much I'm missing
[00:23]<Quantos> I'm cheating and asking that in the other channel I'm in
[00:24]<Quantos> It's full of hackers, but I really don't like calling it a hacking channel
[00:24]<Quantos> It's not what we do there
[00:26]<Quantos> Just waiting for a reply about that
