| Feb 11, 2016 at 0:09 | comment | added | JustWondering | I would consider this the answer I was looking for... I am not looking for a perfect OTP generator, just one that is "random enough" to actually be useful. As to the actual usage of one, it is more academic in nature (versus encrypting actual lines of documents). My reasoning was this (and I might not have been too clear): Using the randomness generated via RNGCryptoServiceProvider, and rotating the character set 1,000's of times per line, is this, in practical purposes, useful. I consider that it is. | |

| Feb 9, 2016 at 8:56 | comment | added | lorenzog | The answer is in the last few paragraphs (starting from "So, for practical purposes..."). The rest is an unwanted lecture on a topic the OP is already familiar with. I'd suggest removing the first 3/4 of the text and keeping the actual answer; or moving the preamble to the bottom as an appendix. | |
