ASEncry Description

ASEncry stands for "absolutely secure encryption" and uses a one time pad encryption and, if properly used, a one time pad can not be broken. Claude Shannon proved that the one-time pad ciphers are unbreakable. The result is displayed as hexadecimal code. Use Ascencry to encrypt text to and from applications by using simple cut and paste. Example of use is encrypting mail and text documents. There are some very importatant security isues and principles you must undestand before you start using OTP (One Time Pad). A One time pad is very attractive because it is the only encryption system that can not be broken. Using a true random key, nobody can brake the cipher. And never vill it happen, not even with a quantum computer. Still there are many situations where OTP (One Time Pad) are unpractical to use. Using OTP as a crypto system is most suited to use between a very few people. (Because of the challenges concerning key distribution). And where you must be 100% sure that the cipher can not be broken. There are some security problems you must understand before you start to use OTP. Today some of this problems are easier to handle then before. ■ Reused key attack. ■ Not a Random key. ■ Lost key. ■ Man in the middle attack.
