Perfect is a better term. Strictly speaking it is because there is no finite unicity distance (the amount of ciphertext with which the cipher can theoretically be broken). So, stricly speaking, for a given message C and a prospective pad, P, out of a set of N pads which may or may not be correct:
P(P|C) = N^-1
What does it mean?
Yes, McPuff, what does it mean. Like all of your other pabulum, it does not mean anything that has any significance to anyone living or yet to live. I also greatly appreciate you defining unicity distance for me, I have always wanted to know that. With kindest regards, Don Wood
