Location-Based Encryption Is A Quantum Reality
A research group led by computer scientists at the UCLA Henry Samueli
School of Engineering and Applied Science has proved that cryptography
-- the practice and study of hiding information -- that is based solely
on physical location is possible by using quantum mechanics. Such a method, the researchers say, allows one to encrypt and decrypt
data at a secure location without pre-sharing any cryptographic keys
that can be used to lock or unlock sensitive information. Read the full article. [Science Daily]

It's a neat idea but it's just theory. Until it comes out, I think I'll stick with long-length encryption keys and asymetric encryption like PGP, GPG, and TrulyMail to protect my email.
