Some random pads for use as described in David Madore's article:

	A method of free speech on the Internet: random pads
	http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/madore/misc/freespeech.html

which itself is based on the "Anonymous Message Broadcast" scheme from
section 6.3 of Bruce Schneier's book on cryptography.

Aside from the pads here, there are other pads at the locations listed
in the "padsets" file here. Please let me know if you also have some
pads up on the web.

I will sporadically add more pads from time to time.

If you have handy space, please mirror these and other pads somewhere and add
that site to the list of pad sources. It is important that pads not be
readily deleted from the web. Remember to "touch" the pads into the past
to erase publication dates.

I use a few handy scripts to deal with these pads, which you
can fetch as the tarball:
	otpadtools.tar.gz
These scripts need my Perl modules, available from:
	http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/cs.tar.gz

I generally use the mkotpad script for making pads.
I use pickotpads to select pads for use.

Important: the script chkotpad can be used to check the integrity of a pad
(that is is 128k long and that the MD5 hash matches the filename). This is
useful for avoiding accidental pollution of the pads with false pads (eg
from an attacker of the system).

Note: chkotpad does NOT check the dgree of randomness in a pad, merely that
it is well formed. A file full of zeroes can look well formed. One crude
check for randomness is to attempt to compress a pad with gzip (or your
favourite compression tool). A good pad won't compress because it has
no redundancy.
