Carl Ellison says:
I can think of two:
1. a long-period PRNG (like subtract-with-carry) feeding a cryptographically strong hash function (perhaps triple-DES in ECB mode with both key nad input taken from the PRNG and output becoming the new PRNG output;
What would the point of using this for a one time pad be, though? Why not just use triple-DES and be done with the bulk and complexity? Perry
