- You could use cosmic ray detection for the random source too.
- Or change keys every encryption session and forget about using
- anything other than the simple encryption (XOR). Your key would
- just be a 32bit slice of the random bit stream. Heck, we could
- even use an ANSI escape code sequence to hold it, seeing as it's
- a little hard to remember non-alpha-numeric sequences.
