Abstract
Top commands of the arm forces and some special military and government institutions need perfect security for exchanging between them “TOP SECRET” information. Security of such information is not limited by time. Only the one-time pad (perfect) cipher may be used to fulfill the requirements. Realization of OTP cipher machines has changed for decades. Now capability to hardware generation of binary random sequences with the potential output rate 100 Mbit/s eliminates the restriction connected with availability of very long one-time keys. Continuously generating the sequence (or one-time keys) with a bit rate 100 Mbit/s and its direct, lossless recording to mass storage, the new hardware generator will be able to produce a little more than 1 TB per day. OTP cipher machines have to be supported by a trusted data management and couriering system.
