On May 7, IBM announced that two of its research
scientists created the world's first public-key encryption
scheme that provides a mathematically proven uniform
level of protection for keeping confidential computer data
private.

If they can make it practical from a speed/resources perspective
this will be very interesting (and you thought elliptic curve
math was complicated! ;-) Interesting work.
