The Evolution of Encryption
1919 CE - Germany
The Weimar Germany Foreign Office adopts a short lived trial in the usage of a manual one-time pad for sensitive communications. A one-time pad, considered possibly the only form of unbreakable encryption is a single way of ciphering that is used only one time in one instance, and then never again. The key to the message must travel with it, and after its single use is no longer used.
