Within multiple layers, in-between some layers may see clear-text and outside those two the same text is appears encrypted. Don't mistake this as false sense of security. We could state many use-cases, yet the obvious is binary on hardware. Something decodes the image and feeds that to the hardware for execution, for example. The fix for this has been in niche areas, yet it may be there was some good reason left open in the public commerce. After decades. we just didn't make it obvious even if one thing leads to another. With possibilities of quantum computers (on demand), maybe we are not worried given current trends of organic development. -- --- https://twitter.com/Dzonatas_Sol --- Web Development, Software Engineering, Virtual Reality, Consultant
