I haven't seen anyone say this out loud, so here's my $0.02: Since every box is either filled in (1) or not (0), a solved 5x5 nonogram can be encoded as a 25-b

I haven't seen anyone say this out loud, so here's my $0.02:
Since every box is either filled in (1) or not (0), a solved 5x5 nonogram can be encoded as a 25-bit unsigned integer. So would a 6x6 (36), 7x7 (49), 8x8 (64), etc.
... So if desired, an AES-256 key can be encoded as a solved 16x16 nonogram. The perimeter hints can then be derived by Alice and given to Bob as a weak form of information obfuscation.
