This 'code' was used in WW2 and to my knowledge, was never cracked by the poor Germans intercepting it.

It is, of course, just Welsh without punctuation marks.


The US used Navajo "code talkers" during WWII and that "code" was never broken either.

If you have enough one-time pad, you don't have to repeat anything.

If you used 10TB hard drives to store the one-time pads, you could send 10TB of message before running out of pad - ballpark estimate, that's maybe 5 billion pages of text.

Give a twelve year old three days, a bowl of skittles and a mini fridge full of A&W and he’ll crack it.
