Within my experience, security by obscurity works only if you're low profile. If significant amounts of money will be spent decrypting your mess, it's game over.
OTOH, we usually only hear about the failed attempts, so there's a selection bias.
- eru 7y agoI deliberately didn't use the phrase security by obscurity, because that usage of obscurity is synonymous with secrecy. And that's not what the original comment was about. I agree about the low profile being necessary (even if not sufficient).
