🎲 Dice One-Time Pads:
A technique to make uncrackable encrypted messages using two six-sided die.
📄 Main Instructions
🔢 Alternate Chart
If you have a less security critical use of this One-Time Pad technique, you can use the program written in Go within this repository to greatly speed up the key generation, encryption, and decryption process. This program is 100% compatible with the manual method, but is less secure because of the CSPRNG utilized as opposed to the (effectively) true random numbers of a dice.
How does this all work?
(Wikipedia)
One-time pads are a method of encryption which, if done right, result in a message that is literally impossible to decrypt without the key. The absolute beauty of this encryption method is that it's extremely easy to implement by hand.
However, there are four conditions that must be true for this encryption method to truly be unbreakable:
- The key must be as long as the message you wish to encrypt.
- The key must be generated using truly random methods. (which the Go program is not)
- The key must never be reused.
- The key must be kept a complete secret.
In order to comply with the second condition, two regular 6 sided die will be used to generate the key for encryption and decryption.
