a while back i did a study of randomology where i made a program called "wickid.c" that placed pixels at random points to see what random looked like. apparently i was the only one to see patterns. i believe this is because i have faster vision processing. young cats can see the dot move along the tv crt screen where the older cats could see the whole picture.
lets say i modify this program so that no dots are displayed and only a single porn.bmp is. now further modification to encrypt it with a one time pad. random run or program random generator or your own "key.txt" where you supply a single random number one at a time or predetermined random in the file "key.txt". with true random numbers. your own true random source.
pic encrypted with true random source one time pad check now to the brute force of the key the entire length of the data. check. " what differentiates a one time pad and these other cryptosystems is that the number of possible keys is no less than the number of possible messages (and all are equally likely). " and " cannot see the wood for the trees " would hold true no matter what the data. so as the file is brute forced other porn images appear. woohoo a porn generator ! <backflip> <backflip> <backflip> <backflip> meow ! < double laided out backflip> meow ! all kinds of porn. all kinds of fetish porn. all kinds of kitty porn ! stuff never even heard of. images magically appear. pictures that have never been taken by a digital camera. no need to use a camera any more thanks to the porn generator. a porn generator would put the porn industry right out of business. every porn film ever made right through your new porn generator. films never made come right through your porn generator too. all theoretically possible.
seriously i think you would only get parts of the original image where the rest if wrong key would appear as random pixels or blobs. out of focus if you will as an analogy. until you get the correct key then your image would be 100% clear or in focus as an analogy.
text i believe is the same out of focus. with the correct key the rest of the message will be there. with the short two character or a few words the obfuscatetion is more unclear. but with a larger text you can get more of a coherent message. i get it. i just happen to disagree.
trying every key to see what shows up.And how would you know only letters from the English alphabet is used? Maybe the plaintext is German? What about punctuation? What if it's not even text?
in the movie and in books about ww2 the cryptanalysis sent out <leeked> specific information to confirm what the cipher was about. "midway has a boiler problem. needs new replacement water heater " as example.How would you find a reliable method of determining if your bruteforced answer is the correct one or not?
we were discussing using the vigenere with a random key the entire length of the message. the weakness ironically would be the use of the chart lookup. i know normal vigenere is not a one time pad.
salem thank you for the link. for the record i am not wrong. just a diffff belieffff
i believe the one time pad is breakable. if you brute force it trying every possible key that would negate weather it was created by a true random number generator or not. sooner or later the key would be found. that is the question on the table if the message text is exposed it is broken even if the user or person looking at it does not recognize the message as being the actual one. depending on what was in the message that would be the point that external intel would have to begin.
thank you all for participating in the debate. you can all set a flame your nitrocellulose page now. <pooffff>
