OK CISSP holders & hopefuls... time to put on your thinking cap for fun
discussion of random stream one-time pad encryption:

"[Dr. Michael Rabin, noted cryptographer and] computer science professor at
Harvard says he has found a way to send coded messages that cannot be
deciphered, even by an all-powerful adversary with unlimited computing
power. And, he says, he can prove it."

I thought of 2 big implementation flaws with statements in the article
about implementing this encryption technology, besides Bruce Schneier's
enlightened "encryption is a pole in your front yard you hope people will
run into instead of around" statement (which is also true). Show me yours,
and I'll show you mine... :^)

(You will need to register to get this article from the NY Times, well
worth the trouble.... their daily technology update is superb)

ddh, cissp, etc.
