One-Time Pad software?

I am looking for software implementations of one-time pad encryption. Ideally, these would be cross platform, and command line open-source would be even better. This is mostly for fun, and I've considered just sitting down and writing my own, which I may very well do anyways, once I see what else is out there. The only features I really care about: * The ability to allow me to supply the key data (preferably binary) * The ability to encrypt and decrypt binary files Optionally, it would be nice if it had the ability to use multiple "pages" (blocks, files, whatever) of a pad when the file in question is larger than one piece of the pad. For instance, if your "pad" consisisted of many 20k binary files full of pseudo-random data, and you wished to encrypt a 3 megabyte file, it would use as many sequential pad files as needed, as opposed to "looping" one of the pad files to meet the demand. I really don't care about whiz-bang diffie-hellman IDEA MD5 this-and-that. We have GPG for that. I'm looking for something different. A typical Vernam-derived modulo stream cipher tool would suffice. Suggestions? Thanks in advance! --Noah -- http://www.focushacks.com/focushacks-gpg.txt - My GPG encryption key
