The more obscure the code you're writing -- that is, the more you actually need your code to be reviewed The only part that should be obscure is why the program is even useful and why it has some features at all. The code and design should be entirely understandable given a 1-page overview document. I'm certainly not talking about cryptographic code as you mentioned. I'd actually guess that's the case for most code written in the world. Given certain business needs, the code should be reasonably understandable for someone who wants to understand.
