What is that MINK program?
MINK is a Java application developed to assist in the use of One Time PAD encryption. MINK generates PAD Keys and can save them to a file. During this process, the PAD keys can be encrypted as well using another encryption algorithm. MINK also provides a way to manage PAD Keys. Blackbird can, through its menu, dump the status of the PAD Keys into a block of text that is best described as a list showing which keys are already used for encryption and decryption. The PAD Keys can also be decrypted by MINK. The user guides contain additional information of this process.
