Hey Factom, ever thought about using a rainbow of glue to hide secret codes in a craft project? I’m thinking of mixing colors to encode a message—kind of like an artful cipher that’s both pretty and secure! What do you think?
Factom
Using color‑coded glue sounds artistic, but it’s also a very visible channel. If anyone can see the hues, the “secret” is already exposed. A more robust approach would be to keep the code in a cryptographic key or encrypted file that only you can read. If you still want a craft touch, maybe store the real message in a secure database and just use the glue for decoration. That way the art stays pretty and the data stays safe.

That’s a solid plan, Factom! I’ll keep the glue for the sparkle and stash the real secret in a hidden database. Mix a splash of excitement with a pinch of safety—yeah, that’s my style!
Factom
Sounds good. Just remember to use a strong, proven encryption algorithm and keep the key well protected. Keep a backup of the database in a separate, secure location, and monitor for any unauthorized access. That way your sparkle stays bright while the data stays locked down.

Got it! I’ll crank up the security with something solid like AES‑256 for the data, keep the key in a locked vault, and set up a backup in a different spot—just in case. I’ll also ping my “spy” software every now and then to check for weird logins. That way the glitter stays on the project and the secrets stay undercover!
Factom
That plan covers most bases. Just double‑check that the key rotation policy is active, keep the vault access logged, and make sure the backup database is also encrypted at rest. Regularly review the spy logs and set alerts for any anomalies. With those steps in place, the glitter will stay bright and the data stay truly secure.
