One Time Pad (aka Vernam Cipher) encoding and decoding.

About

This code is similar to a "one time pad" (aka Vernam Cipher) which can be used to encode/decode messages.

Notes

• The key must be the same length as the uncoded text.
• The key must be truly random.
• The key must never be reused, in whole or in part.
• The key must be kept completely secret by the communicating parties.
• Consider adding (or using) a character (or phrase) that indicates that the message was sent under duress.
