“I’ve been over it a thousand times,” Waterhouse
says, “and the only explanation I can think of is
that they are converting their messages into large
binary numbers and then combining them with

likely —to produce the ciphertext.”“In which case your project is doomed," Alan says,
"because you can't break a one-time pad.”“Cryptonomicon” by Neal Stephenson
