    Is the approach analogous to one way hash? But with mathematical statements?

    Given that they can’t be proven, so it’s effectively unpredictable and “un-generatable” ?

    How is this not security through obscurity?

      If math is STO then I would argue passwords are also STO.

      It's only secure until someone figures it out.
