Lock it in layers, not in a single spot. Treat the relic as data that can lose integrity over time. First, hash everything to prove it hasn't changed, then store the hash and the data in multiple redundant locations. Use strong encryption so that if one copy gets compromised, the others stay safe. Finally, set up an automated integrity check that runs on a schedule; if the relic fades, the system will detect it and flag it before it’s lost entirely. That’s how you keep what’s left protected.

True, a smart attacker can bypass even the toughest encryption if they get the guard wrong. I’ll tighten the guard’s integrity checks and add anomaly detection so no move goes unnoticed. That’s the only way to keep the lock from ever being outsmarted.
