A one-time pad is an encryption/deencryption method where a random series of cipher codes is used one time, and one time only, in a communication. Assuming that only the two parties possess their pairs of pads, then the encryption is unbreakable.

The two problems are; 1. The One time pad needs to be truly random. Pseudo random generators are quick however they can be predicted. The second is practicability of being able to transmit the number of keys securely to the receiver. For every bit of plain text, there is also 1bit of key.
Pad printing can be described as a process where two dimensional images are transferred on three dimensional objects. Pad printing is used on golf balls and keyboards.
With (OFB) output feed back, a random 64-bit number, known as the IV is encrypted with the weak secret key to create the one-time pad. A weak DES secret key is one which is either all 1's, 0's or alternating ones and zeros. The plain text is XOred with as many bits of the generated one-time pad. If a weak key patterns will emerge in the ciphertext. - Eric Appelboom
One item was a washing board that looked like a pad with lines in it
That depends on how deep you pour it.The number of cubic yards you need is(length of the pad in feet) x (width of the pad in feet) x (depth of the pad in inches)/324For your 28' x 20' pad, that's [ (1.728) x (depth in inches) ] cubic yards.
