in thread Web Cryptomatic
Any random number generator with a finite internal state must eventually fall into a cycle. Anyone who uses a lagged Fibonacci or other insecure PRNG to generate one-time pads deserves to lose. If you really knew anything about crypto, you would know that a long period is not sufficient for security. Anyone who downloads one-time pads from the web deserves to have their traffic sniffed by Carnivore. About the best us mortals can hope for is Math::TrulyRandom or
open RAND, "</dev/random"; read RAND, $key, length($message);
I'm done with this thread. You get the last word.
