The Dark Night and Null Key Encryption
 
I watched "The Dark Night" the second time tonight. (Batman rules!) Awesome movie, however I noticed that in the scene where Bruce Wayne is showing his sonar-based cell phone device to Fox, he tells Fox that the device is "null key encrypted," and that therefore only Fox can use it.

Last time I checked, "null encryption" meant to use no encryption. But I was curious if maybe it was also techno-slang for one-time pad encryption, or some other use I had not heard of.

The fact it may be perceived as mildly entertaining one could see as a bonus but the aim of the movie is to rake in money, not reflect reality.
