USING WEBPAGES AS CRYPTOGRAPHIC KEYS IN A ONE-TIME PAD SYSTEM

Abstract

Nowadays, in order to ensure its confidentiality, it has become necessary to take additional measures during the transfer of information from one place to another through modern network technologies. In the symmetric encryption algorithms developed for this purpose, the sensitive aspect is the secrecy of the information used as a cryptographic key. In this paper, the problem of sending the key to the parties and the solutions proposed for this purpose were analyzed, and information about one-time pads and their features were provided. In this research, an approach for using web pages as a one-time cryptographic key is proposed. At the same time, a method of identifying and agreeing to use web pages and social network posts as cryptographic keys has been developed.
