A longer explanation is here

A one-time pad (OTP) is a cryptographic method that uses a random, secret key of the same length as the message. The key is used only once and then discarded. When properly implemented, it provides perfect secrecy, making the ciphertext unbreakable.

The biggest problem with this scheme is that you must generate the encryption and decryption pads together and one pad must be sent with the person who will receive the messages.

But what if we used a random image as the key to generate the encryption scheme?

As long as both the sender and receiver know where to go everyday to get the latest image, they have an unbreakable and portable encryption scheme.
