“Cryptography exists because information asymmetry is survival.”
Gun Gun Febrianza

“One of the most singular characteristics of the art of deciphering is the strong conviction possessed by every person, even moderately acquainted with it, that he is able to construct a cipher which nobody else can decipher. I have also observed that the cleverer the person, the more intimate is his conviction.”
Charles Babbage, Passages from the Life of a Philosopher
