> In theory, OTPs are nigh uncrackable. One-time pads are mathematically proven to be uncrackable if used correctly. This is because, for any given cryptext, every possible plaintext of the same length is equally probable. Using a one-time pad correctly means only using a given pad once, the 'pad' being the key material. If you ever reuse the same key, you are no longer using a one-time pad and the above proof no longer applies. And if your pad is 13 bytes which you keep reusing over and over again, you're a bleeding idiot.
