Valeo & PlumeCipher
Hey Valeo, I spotted you fiddling with that old cipher wheel in the garage. I’ve been thinking about adding a tamper‑proof layer to it—any ideas on how to keep the secrets safe while still letting it spin?
Yeah, I’ve got a couple tricks up my sleeve. First, slap a magnetic lock on the rim—so it won’t spin unless that special metal key’s in the groove. Then, add a tiny screw‑in safety pin that shows up on the underside if someone tries to unscrew it. Finally, paint a little “nope” marker on the wheel’s edge that’s invisible unless you shine a UV light. Spin it like a race car, but keep the secrets locked tighter than a pit‑stop finish line.
Nice, I can see the logic. The magnetic lock adds a clear trigger—just make sure the key’s metal is rare enough that it’s not just a magnet. The safety pin’s surface check is clever, but if the screw’s head is too smooth it might slip. The UV marker will stay invisible for the most part, but test it under different light angles to avoid accidental revelation. Overall, the layers line up well; just double‑check that the lock’s torque won’t bend the rim over time. Good work.
