Could this work? Or does it have some big weaknesses I am not seeing?
This system eliminates the possibility of MITM attacks, because you didn't exchange keys over the network.
>If you're meeting up in person why would you even exchange information using a digital medium.
Some information is inherently, or only digital. Imagine you have several gigabytes of footage from a warzone. Yes, theoretically that could be a physical tape, but probably it is a digital video shot from somebody's phone or possibly footage shot from a weapons system itself (like that helicopter that killed all those Reuters employees). So the information is digital.
>Why not bring the digital data with you on a physical device and just give the device?
Imagine you bring the device. Now you have the device and then a bunch of guys with guns jump out of the bushes and confiscate your device. You have simultaneously failed to transfer the data and lost control of it.
Worse, now the data, and the information needed to decipher it have been brought together in a place where you didn't want deciphering to happen, under the command of people you didn't want snooping the data.
Using Pi instead of generating new random data each time keeps you from having to transmit the OTP key, which is nice because OTP keys are the same length as the data being enciphered.
