Where do these idiots come from and why do they end up on this mailing list? paul@fatmans.demon.co.uk writes:
Can you explain to me how your one time pad algorithm is any better than encryption something with, say, RC4 or any other cipher using a key that is the same length as the seed for your PRNG?
Well for a start there is no possible cryptanalytic (rather than brute force) attack on a one time pad, the system can be mathematically proven to be secure with a very simple bit of statistics.
Please post your "mathematical proof" and explain what you mean by a "brute force attack on a one time pad". --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
