Researchers at Mitsubishi Electric, NEC and the University of Tokyo claim to have made a breakthrough in a new technique for very secure data communications.

The firms have implemented a technique known as quantum cryptography which codes the data optically and have for the first time transmitted information between systems uses this technique.

According to the companies, it is hoped that using this technology it will be possible to realise networks with unbreakable codes within five years.
