Question: I want to use a one time pad pased crypto system. I understand that the randomness of the pad genorator is key to security(other than lossing the keys). What I want to know is if I use a psuedo-RNG that maybe repeats its self every 1000 characters and use it to only encrypt messagase that are 100's of charaters long, will this be a major security risk? Next question: Say I create a 1 million character one time pad that passes all of the randomness tests. It is "truely random". I place it on two computers. Now when these two computers want to send email computer "A" grabs a chunk of the one time pad starting at a random point and encrypts it. It labels the email with the random starting point and sends it to "B". There "B" moves to the random point and begins decryption. During to process both computers mark that section of the OTP used so that they don't retransmit with it. I realize this has a limited amount of messages before it is used up. But would this be secure? Any suggestions, complaints, big gapping holes I missed? Aaron....
