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.
