Here is an output from a small encrypted NaCl secretbox blob with 'sender.exe':
Seven-One Nine-Foxtrot One-Nine Bravo-Two Echo-Five
Eight-Zero Five-Zero Delta-Six Delta-Alfa Four-Delta
Bravo-Three Charlie-One Delta-Foxtrot Bravo-Delta Zero-Bravo
Foxtrot-Four Delta-Six Three-Four Charlie-One Three-Four
Bravo-Two Five-Eight Bravo-Seven Charlie-Three Two-Four
Bravo-Three Five-Two Echo-Nine Three-Zero Four-Echo
Zero-Foxtrot Echo-Foxtrot Zero-Alfa Zero-Delta Bravo-Six
Eight-Echo Echo-Six Foxtrot-Two Three-Three Charlie-Four
Seven-Five Alfa-Nine Echo-Six Charlie-Six Nine-Nine
Seven-Two Five-Three Seven-Delta Four-Alfa Five-Foxtrot
Bravo-Alfa
The listener then simply types the values as HEX into his editor of choice,
like so:
71 9F 19 B2 E5
80 50 D6 DA 4D
B3 C1 DF BD 0B
F4 D6 34 C1 34
B2 58 B7 C3 24
B3 52 E9 30 4E
0F EF 0A 0D B6
8E E6 F2 33 C4
75 A9 E6 C6 99
72 53 7D 4A 5F
BA
Then he / she uses the 'receiver.exe' program to convert the HEX values back
into a binary blob. :-)
Regards
Stefan
