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.

What are two problems with the one-time pad?

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.


How would one describe pad printing?

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.


What pseudo-random block stream is generated by 64-bit OFB with a weak DES key?

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


What does the k stand for in k pad?

In "k pad," the "k" typically stands for "kilo," which represents a measurement of one thousand. In this context, "k pad" often refers to a type of electronic notepad or tablet designed for digital note-taking or drawing, indicating its functionality or capacity. The term can also imply that it is a more advanced or larger version of a standard pad.

Do encryption export controls apply to implementations of the one-time pad?

There are no export controls per se on the one-time pad - however, there could easily be controls on elements of the implementation of the one-time pad. For example, if the one-time pad is sent using encryption that is subject to export controls, the implementation would be subject to export controls because of that.

How often do you change your dining table pad?

When the breaks are pressed on your car there is a rattling noise?

The only time my brakes rattled was when a retaining clip on the brake pad broke letting the pad rattle around. I pulled the tire and wheel off, replaced the one retaining clip on the one pad and replaced the wheel and tire.


Can you use one adult pad and one child pad for an adult?

The answer is no. The way the Automated External Defibrillators (AED) are set up today you can only plug in one set of pads into the machine at a time; either the children pads or the adult pads.

What one time pad does if used correctly?

If used properly, the one-time pad is an unbreakable encryption system. To implement it, two parties agree on an invertible transformation on messages and a random key (such as a random number or sequence of numbers). The random key is then used to encrypt and decrypt the message, and if it is only used once, will leave no meaningful pattern in the ciphertext. Thus malicious third parties that intercept the ciphertext will be unable to derive the original message from it. The random key is the one-time pad because it can be used only once.


When was the term notepad used for the first time?
