Best Answer

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.

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.

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.
