Alice and Bob go Public: when a touch of art can help make a point

Quick post to (belatedly) illustrate Global Encryption Day (October 21 2022): presenting Alice and Bob go Public.

Encryption isn't just for hiding or those who have something to hide. Encryption is an individual right and must be protected. Credit for the artwork: `@maluzeando.lettering`

It's been a while since I posted any art, but I feel that there should be more of it covering the topic of cryptography - particularly the part of end-to-end encryption. There's nothing scary about it, or illicit. Encrypting private conversations are as natural as the desire to have them face to face with someone - be them your friend, your relative, or your doctor.

And it shouldn't take a single day off the calendar to make us celebrate encryption. Celebrate encryption today, and every day - by practicing it!
