Actually, no, and I'll tell you why. My only interest in this product is that you're flogging it as a one time pad, and just calling something a one time pad doesn't make it so. From all that's been exposed so far, it looks like it doesn't match the standard definition of a one time pad in standard cryptologic works. Maybe it's something <like> it, and maybe not -- but if they're saying it <is> a one time pad they should be prepared to prove it. Reading their warmed-over press releases doesn't interest me at all. Except for one thing, i.e. this line from the last blather:
The encryption is not done by using an encryption algorithm.
