These analogies are useful, but they hide some of the magic powers of encryption. For example, it would be hard to see how we could prove to others that we know the contents of the "vault" without opening it for them and revealing at least some of the contents.

While there are many efforts, in multiple sectors, to study these characteristics of systems they are typically considered separately and in isolation. This can result in work,...
