One-Time Pad Encryption With No Pad?
thepooleboy writes: "The Globe and Mail has an article about a Toronto area company that has perfected 'Unbreakable Encryption' using the Vernam Cipher." The idea is to use as a one-time pad a large number generated by equations sent with an initial (proprietary) exchange which takes place when users connect to an equipped server. Since real one-time pads' numbers are by definition random and known in advance to both sender and receiver, though, the company seems to be playing fast-and-loose with their terms.
I will use the secret powers of generating reproducable one-time pads to solve the equally overstated Bodacian challenge!
The world will be all mine, Pinky!
So essentially they send the keys to the unbreakable cipher using a breakable cipher, sounds completely secure to me.
..."unsinkable" is to "ship"

Underneeth each letter I put the row of the keyboard that the key belongs to.

Thus usuing me l33t 5kilz - I have determined that your keyboard is missing its entire thrid row of keys.
Moneyed corporations, non-working 'poor' and criminal prisoners are turning productive citizens into tax-slaves.
until your explanation, it was, in fact, not funny.

honestly no matter how or what you use to encrypt things given a long enough time span someone WILL break it
much like on a long enough timeline the average survival rate WILL equal zero

bwahahahaha
sorry, couln't help it. Slashdot needs some sister jokes.
remind me of all the pointless efforts to build a Perpetual Motion Machine.
All you need is a cold-fusion generator that works at absolute zero. Then you can generate enough energy to increment through all possible one-time-pad keys. Of course, you'd never be able to match the raw throughput of an infinite number of monkeys unless you sicced the Loch Ness monster on them. But watch out for Xenu while you're doing that!
