Cryptography and mazes
Cryptography is the science of securing information by transforming it into coded messages, ensuring only authorized parties can access the original data. Think of it as a digital lock and key system. Mazes, on the other hand, are complex pathways designed to challenge navigation; they symbolize problem-solving or routes to a goal. When combined, cryptography can be viewed as a maze for hackers—intricate and difficult to navigate without the right key—protecting sensitive information just as a maze obscures the exit. Both involve creating complex structures—passwords or paths—to safeguard or conceal important information.
