C++ Program to Implement the One Time Pad Algorithm

This C++ program encodes any message using the technique of one time pad cipher technique. Input is not case sensitive and works only for all characters. White spaces are not ignored but are produced as random characters in the decoded message.
Note:Since the key is required for decryption, it is printed on stdout. However, it is not safe to make the key public.

Here is source code of the C++ Program to Implement the One Time Pad Algorithm. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
