## Description

The tcl::transform::otp package provides a command creating a channel transformation which uses externally provided one-time pads to perform encryption (on writing) and decryption (on reading).

A related transformations in this module is tcl::transform::rot.

The internal TclOO class implementing the transform handler is a sub-class of the tcl::transform::core framework.

## API

::tcl::transform::otp chan keychanw keychanr

  This command creates a one-time pad based encryption transformation on top of the channel chan and returns its handle.

  The two channels keychanw and keychanr contain the one-time pads for the write and read directions, respectively. Their contents are reads and xored with the bytes written to and read from the channel.
