If you really want Internet Freedom, let's make a petition to ask that QKD and other next generation crytosystems to include key distribution and an open audit-able specification(to include die and IC teardowns). It's not enough to simply declare yourselves free, you need enforcement, which is where encryption comes into play.

>QKD is developed and researched in Los Alamos
This is the enforcement part of IBOR. Actually secure crypto would forever be a game changer, you could never censor an idea and if what ATT says is true about not manipulating traffic based on content. to ATT with actual secure cryptosystems it would be pointless to collect data this way since the data coming across the network would (potentially) be unencryptable without the key.
The NSA just has some kind of fiber sandwich which reads the fiber directly by scraping a little bit of outer portion of the fiber and allowing some of the light in the cable to leak into their parallel fiber. (Sauce: Wikipedia article on fiber optics and the suspicious lack of information on the process of fusing fiber optic cables that allow light to pass through the sides.) Secure crypto would mean they would have to pursue other means of collecting intelligence.
I don't see how IBOR can work without physical guarantees, and that's why I made a thread. I won't just say I want IBOR because it sounds good, I want real guarantees, you all should too. Including this technology in our petitions is the only way you'll get traction because words cannot enforce actual internet freedom, only encryption can.
