This is a story (among many) about Alice and Bob. Here it goes ...
Alice hid some treasure for Bob to find. She wishes to send the location of the treasure to him. In order to prevent muggles from discovering it, she decided to encrypt the coordinates using the one-time pad. Unlike modern encryption standards, one-time pad is mathematically proven to be perfectly secure and impossible to crack (even with a quantum computer). She is so happy and confident that no one could steal the treasure. Unfortunately, she was too lazy and used the same key to encrypt both the latitude and longitude ...
Eve, who is interested in the treasure, sniffed Alice's message, but had no idea what to do with it ...
