interestingly wikimierda has this bit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad
"First described by Frank Miller in 1882,[4][5] the one-time pad was re-invented in 1917. On July 22, 1919, U.S. Patent 1,310,719 was issued to Gilbert Vernam for the XOR operation used for the encryption of a one-time pad"
So...the technique is older than 1940s...
