I have been writing a one-time pad encryption system. The key weakness in the system is you must deliver the random pads ahead of time securely. I thought of putting them on a USB protected by AES and a passphrase. The catch is the receiver still has to know the passphrase to use the pads when they arrive. How would you go about having either end inform the other of the password? -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com Students who hire or con others to do their homework are as foolish as couch potatoes who hire others to go to the gym for them.
