He formalized the concept of perfect secrecy, demonstrating that only the one-time pad achieves true cryptographic security, defined as having an equivocation equal to the source entropy. Shannon rigorously proved that any system less secure than the one-time pad leaks some statistical information about the plaintext, however minute, which can be dete…
