Session TE22: Resurrecting the Unbreakable One Time Pad (OTP)
February 19, 10:00-10:45 Abstract:
OTP Ciphers have been difficult to discuss because until now there has not been a practical product that made the powerful OTP convenient enough to use.

The introduction of Vadium's AlphaCipher Product Line has eliminated this roadblock by making the OTP Cipher not only practical, but easy for multiple users to implement, maintain, and manage.

The principles of Key Management for the AlphaCipher System will be discussed along with practical applications and descriptions of easy-to-use and manage Key Hierarchies. The effect of various security controls will be explained, and the session will conclude with a summary of the powerful features Vadium has designed into the AlphaCipher Encryption System.
