There are remarkable similarities between this 'system' and the Elementrix one. Could it be that E-ix is selling some licenses to the unsuspecting? Or perhaps it's the other way around. Both involve: - An ill-defined cure-all solution which can't realy be revealed because of patent-pending status - An OTP (so they say) that's not really an OTP - Starting with a 'seed' that is truly random and then algorithmically generating a stream that is XOR-ed with the data, based on analogies to "rotors" and "dice" - Encrypting keystream data using portions of the previous keystream ** fairly remarkable coincidences. Or is it that great minds think alike?
