I was tempted by the promise of software to run a one-time pad on my
machine. I am a fool and I fall upon my own sword.
An unauthenticated one-time pad is trivial to implement; it's
literally a few lines of code in any reasonably modern language, and a
handful of lines of code in less modern ones.
The hard part, as has been pointed out in this thread, is to generate
and handle the _pad_.
imho, this is not as difficult as you say. using a time-date stamp as
part of your seed.
the real difficulty is in the length of the key. rounding & other
calculations errors will quickly interfere.
but, for up to 500 characters, the length of the avg email, imho, you
can produce a non-reusable pad
