> There has to be a way. No, there isn't a way. Seriously. Shannon proved it rigorously. It's also intuitive if you understand how a OTP works. This is probably the most solid proof in all of cryptography. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad The final discovery was by Claude Shannon in the 1940s who recognized and proved the theoretical significance of the one-time pad system. Shannon delivered his results in a classified report in 1945, and published them openly in 1949.[3] At the same time, Vladimir Kotelnikov had independently proven absolute security of the one-time pad; his results were delivered in 1941 in a report that apparently remains classified.
