Unbreakable crypto: Store a 30-character password in your brain’s subconscious memory
[Quote]:
A cross-disciplinary team of US neuroscientists and cryptographers have developed a password/passkey system that removes the weakest link in any security system: the human user. It’s ingenious: The system still requires that you enter a password, but at no point do you actually remember the password, meaning it can’t be written down and it can’t be obtained via coercion or torture.

This reminded me: You should read Haruki Murakami’s ‘Hard boiled wonderland and the end of the world’ in which the protagonist is a cryptographer who’s brain halves are separated and who uses sub/ unconscious processes in his right brain to encode / decode the messages without his left brain knowing anything about it. Not that the story is about that, though. It also has unicorn skulls. Best book.
