please, by all means, enlighten us.

Please keep in mind that you have no idea what my background is (or what experience I have), so don't assume that I "can't see beyond the algorithms".
- plugnburn 11y agoIf you can really see beyond the algorithms, you should understand what I mean. Exploring a "spherical algorithm in the vacuum" begins being useless at some point. One should explore its properties when used in a real environment. Protocols where OTP usage is plausible and practical definitely exist. I'm not saying that OTP is practical for every possible use case though. In fact, in my first comment here I had asked the OP about how he's going to solve key distribution problem among multiple users. Because when such a simple algorithm is used, the actual protocol matters much more.
