"But if we move toward authentication systems based solely on physical tokens or biometrics — things we have or things we are, rather than things we remember"
If the argument is valid it seems that it could also be applied to public key encryption.

This is the Quantum Ram Jet in Artur C. Clarks "Songs of a Distant Earth" from 1985 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Songs_of_Distant_Earth. It is based on the Dynamical Casimir Effect which is thought to have been observed, http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/26813/

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the combination of Maxwell's Equations in a moving frame of reference and The Navier Stokes Equation. So it includes both the impact of inertial and electromagnetic forces of the flow. MHD is the long wavelength limit of kinetic (particle) plasma theory. The Earths core has in the past been modeled as an MHD fluid but it is usually assumed to be incompressible. I am not aware of compressible models but I have not worked in this field in a decade.
