Cryptography is easy, really. It allows you to transform confidentiality problems into key management problems.
Compare this with trains, which are clearly more complex: They allow you to turn long distance problems into money, scheduling and coordination problems.

@maxim@unfug.social The inverse is true as well. You can make cryptography very complex, but someone with the simplest of tools can make your efforts moot. https://xkcd.com/538/
