Step 4Preparing your decks

Preparing your decks
Now is the time to get the decks ready to generate the keystream values. To generate these, we first need to shuffle the decks so that the cards are as randomly distributed as possible. To make sure that's the case, we're going to shuffle the first deck 6 times - if you have no idea how to do this, I suggest you take a look at this Instructable by M5R, or just watch the .ogg video included on this page.

Once this is done, turn it face up and arrange the cards in the other deck to match the distribution of the first. Put it back in its package and don't touch it ! That'll be your backup. You can write down the order of the cards in the deck, save it on your terminal or, as said previously, use mnemonics' to memorize the order of the cards in the deck.
