Is there any publically-available software which allows utilization of one-time pads? I know it's just a matter of XOR'ing digits, but something which would allow use by modem and transmit the pad itself by PGP or another secure encryption standard, or the delivery by mail or courier of the pad itself to allow the future exchange of information by a less-secure medium would seem to be something that SOMEONE must have thought of doing; and while it's by no means trivial, it would take a bit of work to program it with a snazzy front-end, idiot-proofing and other bells and whistles. Just wondering. Oh, yes, I've posted an amusing little bit of propaganda to sci.crypt and alt.privacy.clipper, a sensationalistic little hypothetical proposition which I'd be happy to email anyone who is interested and doesn't have UseNET access (is there such a person?). ---- Robert W.
