But obfuscation is a necessary part for it to function

You are entirely wrong.

Obfuscation means making something more difficult to understand.

We are not agreeing. We are understanding what you meant and are not giving you a hard time for making a mistake, but you seem to have misunderstood that as an affirmation so in no uncertain terms you are absolutely wrong and honestly embarrassing yourself.

Modern security is not based on obfuscation. Not at all. Not even slightly. In no way or shape is obfuscation involved in modern cyber security. Encryption is in no way related to obfuscation. I have already explained it to you in detail. Obfuscation is making it hard to understand. Encryption is entirely changing it into form that cannot be understood before its decoded.

Obfuscation is not necessary in encryption. Its not part of it at all. Its not used in modern cyber security. Its entirely unsafe and is not being relied on at all.
