Doe anyone know where sample code exists to enable one to read the digital stream from an audio CD? If so, I'd appreciate some pointers to it via email. It seems to me like an Audio Cd would make the perfect one-time crypto system. You merely start reading at a specific spot, tossing away bytes using a reproducable random number generator, then permuting those to form a XOR one time key of any length you want. All that would be required to decrypt it would be a CD, the starting point, and the encryption/decryption software. The first step is to be able to read an arbitray sequence of digital samples from an arbitrary spot on a CD. I'm currently looking for software (perferably source) to enable me to do that.
