Re: One time pads
But for one snag. OTP is consumed one-to-one with your data. It's a requirement for OTP;s strong data security (defined as the idea that a ciphertext encrypted using a OTP can literally be decoded to anything of that size or smaller). A 4K message requires at least a 4K OTP. This also makes it redundant to use one OTP to send another one: you use up the same amount of pad either way.
