Abstract
A method for simultaneously generating one time pads and an apparatus which implements the method to produce a secure encryption system. The method and apparatus use the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm to produce a one time pad rather than exchange keys. This makes it practical to generate one time pads for use in secure transmissions.
