Abstract
We present a practical two-state quantum bit commitment protocol whose security is based on current technological limitations. Those limitations are the lack of stable long-term quantum memories and non-demolition measurements. Noise and measurements errors are analyzed, along with the protocol's security. Since perfect non-demolition measurements and quantum memories are unattainable, because in practice noise is inevitable, our protocol can be demonstrated as being unconditionally secure.
