RNG inputs, rather than just one, and can generate numerous output files, rather than just two. It now requires GNU make. Add a patch to use mkstemp() rather than tempnam() so temporary files are created with safe permissions. With the unpatched version, local users can read sensitive information if pad is run in a world-readable directory (the bug is not present in 0.x versions). Turn over maintainership to submitter. Submitted by: Jason Harris <jharris@widomaker.com> PR: 27323 and 32810 Install the man page. Fix spelling of "omitted" in pad.1 and pad.c. Clarify warning message about inputs with unequal sizes. Generate the packing list just before installation. I put the distfile on MASTER_SITE_LOCAL because the home site is offline. The checksum on my copy differs from the one in PR 27323.

This is a small command-line utility for encryption and decryption
|
|
using the principle of one-time pads (OTPs). One or more data files
|
|
given to pad are XORd with each other and with RNG output, resulting
|
|
in two or more output files. The output files are indistinguishable
|
|
from random noise, except that when the pad utility is used to XOR
|
|
them together again, the original data files may be recovered.
