DRM : 7 bit ASCII teletype 'subchannel' : possible elemination of numbers
stations as an end product!

One forgets that DRM technology is improving all the time.
In 3 or 4 years a very portable DRM reciver, with a menu system could be
reprogrammed via a smart card.
A smart card or memory card (possibly with with a keypad and display) has
all the crypto power one needs.

Barring that, a USB connector to a modified MP3 player would work just as
well.
You only need a file system that has 2 partitions, one for permanant
system
files -- the other for files that can expire!
Modern computer file systems don't support 'file expirey dates' -- but
self
expiring file systems can be designed.
A modified Win-NT file system would do, or even better yet -- modify a
LINUX
file system.



A one time pad, written on water soluable paper, is no farther than a trip
down the drain or a dunk in a cup of coffee from being gone forever. I
suspect real spys want to stay as far as possible from spy gadgets.

Anyway, there's plenty of encrypted diplomatic and military traffic right
now on RTTY. RTTY can be easily decoded by SWLs, right now. What does DRM
add to the picture?
