Hey DataPhantom, ever think about how the rhythm of a song could hide inside a cryptographic key, like a secret beat in the code?
A rhythm in a key? That's a nice way to describe the predictable patterns we try to avoid. If a song hides inside a cryptographic key, it's probably a weak cipher waiting to be cracked. Just make sure the beat doesn't sync with the hash.
Yeah, if the key starts to feel like a drum loop you’re probably overfitting the cipher. Just keep the tempo loose and the beats unpredictable—keeps the attacker outta the groove.
Sounds like a good rule of thumb. If the key starts humming, the attacker will know the tune. Keep the pulses random, and the groove stays safe.
