The Stupidly Simple Spy Messages No Computer Could Decode
Shane Harris 03.06.16 5:01 AM ET
Every day, hour after hour, the worldâ??s spies send top secret
information you can easily listen in on.
"But the numbers are just gibberish without that key, known in
spycraft as a one-time pad. As its name suggests, itâ??s used only
once. And thatâ??s what makes it so secure."
