In times of assistance, Batman decided to implement a wireless realy communication system in his cowl. With it he could communicate with Alfred Pennyworth, who stood by in the Batcave dispensing file information or directions. While investigating the kidnapping of Cardinal O'Fallon, Batman gifted Lieutenant Gordon with his own relay. Batman admonished Gordon with trying to use it to track him as the system is protected by quantum cryptology. Quantum cryptography is only used to produce and distribute a key, not to transmit any message data, which is done by another aspect of the relay; most likely through the Waynecom7 satellite. This key can then be used with any encryption algorithm to secure the message, which can then be transmitted over a standard communication channel. The most common algorithm is the one-time pad, as it is provably secure when used with a secret, random key.
