In the previous article in our series of projects on DIY highly secure communications [1], it was shown how to build a secure tamper-evident box (TEB) that will warn its receiver, Bob, that it was opened after Alice had put it in the mail. In this article, we will make it even more secure with the use of technology from the beginning of the previous century.
