Generation

A one-time pad is the only theoretically unbreakable encryption method, providing perfect secrecy when used correctly. It requires a truly random key that is at least as long as the message, used only once, and kept completely secret. However, its practical limitations—particularly the challenge of securely distributing and managing large random keys—make it impractical for most real-world applications.
