Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Security through obscurity is the belief that a system is secure because its design or implementation is not known to the public or attackers. Relying on proprietary ciphers that are not public knowledge falls under this category. However, this is not a reliable approach to security because once the cipher is reverse-engineered or leaked, the security of the system can be compromised. Therefore, security through obscurity alone is not a substitute for using strong security measures.
