Something that I dont understand is what makes the one time pad system unbreakable as opposed to other systems, this seems to be almost simpler than some of the other ones that we have read about, but the book just bluntly states that it is unbreakable. Will we be susceptible to mockery in later years as new people figure out a way to solve our "unbreakable" code? Also I got pretty lost reading about LFSR sequences.
The part that i liked was going through the realization that what we think is random may not be random. That in fact if I for example were to make up a "random" sequence of ones and zeros that not only would it not be very random you could probably predict where I was going, and be able to tell that a person had done it. True randomness is hard to come by.
