My best line of the day

Steve Burnett is giving an intro to crypto talk in which he explains that "cryptography is about turning sensitive data into gibberish in such a way that you can get the sensitive data back from the gibberish".

My observation: "This differs from standardization, where you can't get the sensitive data back from the gibberish."
