Their new approach can seize the information within minutes, they said, making it a much more useful method than either breaking the cryptographic algorithms used by the card or by intrusive attacks such as the Cambridge approach.
"We are now likely to have a functioning quantum computer that might be able to start breaking the existing cryptographic codes in the near future," said Daniel Gauthier, a professor of physics at The Ohio State University.
In arguing, for example, that no technology is neutral, Morozov fails to identify one crucial characteristic of cryptographic systems: that it is vastly easier to scramble a message than it is to break the scrambling system and gain access to the message without the key.
In the case of WEP, however, RC4 is used inappropriately rather like trying to put a tractor engine in a bus just because it is also an internal combustion engine.In a well-designed cryptographic system, the length in binary digits ("bits") of the encryption key determines how much effort is required to break the system.
The vulnerability apparently allows a hacker to turn a legitimate app into a malicious Trojan by modifying APK code without breaking the app's cryptographic signature.

Since being exposed to public scrutiny, three of the four proprietary TIA cryptographic algorithms have been broken: the voice privacy protection was shown to be insecure as early as 1992 [Bar92, CFP93], this paper cryptanalyzes CMEA, and ORYX was recently broken by the authors [WSK97].
For instance, a practical quantum computer could easily factor large integers, allowing them to break most cryptographic systems.
