POTP(tm) Secure FTP version 1.5 for MS Windows ===============================================
The first commercially available implementation of our POTP (Power One Time Pad) encryption algorithm. The package includes a POTP Secure FTP Client, POTP Secure FTP Server, and POTP FileCrypt - a stand alone file encryption program.
Both our client and server support standard ftp, in addition to absolutely user-transparent encryption on-the-fly of all data sent/received when connected to a POTP Secure FTP Server/Client.
What level of security does this cute, little puppy provide???

None whatsoever is my guess. Perry
Friend, On 11 10 95 jgrubs@left.webcasters.com inquired about POTP security: What level of security does this cute, little puppy provide???

They would be smart not to give the names of their clients because good samaritans might inform them of the quality of their product. Perry

Anything calling itself a one-time-pad which isn't, imo should not be trusted, even if r, s, a, d, h, (and everyone else) said the algorithm was great.
