***** NOTICE *****
(UPDATED 8/22/2022)
Unfortunately, the ADL-1 One Time Pad generator machine is not available at this time.
This is largely due to a supply chain issue and the developers are working on alternate electronics parts solutions.
We will post updates here when there is more to report.
One Time Pad (OTP) is an ‘old school’ tool and a method of encrypting messages. As long as the actual One Time Pad is kept secure, the message will be unbreakable. The challenge of using this method is generating truly random sets of numbers. It can be very time consuming and redundant. The AmRRON Dark Labs- OTP machine makes it as easy as the touch of a button, and it is FIELD PORTABLE!
Product Review: AmRRON Dark Labs: ADL-1 OTP Generator
AmRRON Dark Labs created a self-contained, field portable OTP unit. The AmRRON Dark Labs One Time Pad, Field [ADL- OTP (F)], is self-contained and a secure way to generate AND PRINT multiple One Time Pads.

Introduction and Training
One Time Pad **Tree Series**
NOTE: The ‘Tree Series’ One Time Pads are for training purposes only, and may be reused for such purpose. One Time Pads should only be used ‘One Time’ for security reasons. Never use an OTP more than once for real world applications.
I’d need to know a LOT more about the random number generator before I trust this device. I love the idea, but how are the RNs generated?
The link to the source code is not working. I would really like to see that. Thanks. 73
The random number generator in this unit is The Infinite Noise TRNG,

I notice the Source Zip link is broken, I have notified the site maintainer to get this fixed.
Source code link has been fixed.
The device is well-engineered, compact, and easy to transport with amazing battery life.
I like my 10 sided dice. they work great and are very random. $7.

I purchased one and am very happy with it. While I too have the dice, it is so time consuming, and this is so much quicker and simple. I have had no issues with the unit and plan on purchasing another.

Please please please add a ‘Letters / Numbers’ (mod-10 / mod-26) switch… I’m surprised this wasn’t included, actually. Numerical OTP systems are as clunky as dice. DIANA is perfect but needs Letter OTP’s to feed her.
