Implements true one-time pad principles and best practices to the extent possible on a mobile device, including:

- Single-use, message-length secret key material generated from /dev/urandom
- Calculations performed digit-by-digit (modulo 10) using standard English-optimized checkerboard
- Tap "Cipher" to generate and copy message-specific key to clipboard
- Paste one-time pad (key) into Plaintext and tap "Cipher" to decrypt Ciphertext to clipboard.
