This white paper reads like a patent application.

Yes, the web page says no keys but the site paper clearly talks about keys being used. Figure 3 shows a key. 

Also, You need to use an interesting thing which seems to be a series of oxymorons … 
An unsynchronised external random number generator - RNG1 (3) – (of specific design) a stateful random number generator serves as the source of the perpetual truly random entropy key stream (the OTP pad, and therefore the “actual” key to the system). […] This allows for the random alteration of the deterministic number generation process – making true random number generation using a mathematical PRNG possible. 


There are relatively common mistakes in this paper. 1) it is keyed and therefore has not solved the first key problem and 2) it uses a PRNG and claims it is a Vernon cipher.
