You can use any encryption you choose, you invent.. it's ok, but "in house" only.
I'am talking about selling such an encryption, making money from it. Do you thing RSA or other companies do not know that OTP cyphers ( and modifications ) with a long key are virtually unbreakable ? Yes, these cyphers are really unbreakable even by FEDs so you can not sell such an encryption even within the continental US.
That is what I am talking about. It's illegal to sell such cyphers. Such cypher is considered "weapon" so regulations apply.
Shannon proved the OTP to be a secure cypher some years after 2WW. Also "multiple" OTP really IS
a VERY secure cypher ( any cryptographer will argee ). Take a really long key with a good random entrophy, 10 Gigabite long key, no problem, ultimate cypher.
So you can patent it, you can brand it, you can sell it, whatever.
But you are missing one crucial point here ( and most of the Slashdot readers also ).
The PROBLEM is that you can NOT use or even dare to sell to the public such a cypher !
Why do you think that RSA released so short-key 128, 256, 1024... encryption only ?? Do you think that
RSA choosed this short-bit keys in idle fency ?
The answer is: you can use only APPROVED cyphers and cryptography, this means weak, legal, breakable.
By "breakable" understand breakable by federal and military super computers not by your PC of course.
Your cypher must be agreed by many federal commitees and such a "nasty" OTP cypher will be shut down ( I am 99.9% sure ).
