Error on "cryptorati.com" - adacrypt

There is an error on this website in a passage that should never have
bee there as follows;
Please see " The case against Scalar cryptography" and then the small
boxes on the right - the passage in blue print - " The cipher is
industry accredited as being theoretically unbreakable, the only
cipher-type to be accorded that distinction."

This was meant to relate to the famous one-time pad by Major Joseph
Mauborgne who was Head of Cryptographic Research for the US Army round
about 1920

This will be completely deleted very soon -

I apologise to all who may have thought it was my own cipher that was
the subject of the claim - I had not noticed it before now - sorry -
adacrypt

But your web page still claims your software is a OTP... and I quote
(from
your web page)... "The software is a modern realisation of a 1918 cipher
called a ONE-TIME-PAD, impractical up to now but realised at last due to
the
invention of vector cryptography."
Modern realization of OTP is still OTP.- Hide quoted text -

Ok - I will delete that also because I don't agree with that statement
myself now either -adacrypt.

You do realize that deleting a statement from the description on your
webpage doesn't necessarily change the quality or nature of your software?
Even if your web page no longer says "one time pad", it still -is- a "one
time pad". Remember, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks
like a duck, it probably -is- a duck, even if it doesn't have a label on it
that says "I am a duck".
