Re:Security by obscurity is underrated by EthanHeilman on Friday September 11, 2020 @02:28PM (#24445794)
Security by obscurity is bad. Obscurity alone does not provide much security especially in a cryptographic setting. It can not be relied on as your sole protection.

Security and obscurity: if you make something secure and then obscure information about that system from an attacker that can increase the security. However obscurity is often organizationally expensive and very fragile. A key can be rotated, but changing how something functions is very hard to rotate.
