I&#x27;m surprised that navajo has been chose because it is a complex language, yet it&#x27;s complexity wasn&#x27;t actually used for the code, since actual english words were encoded in it using a navajo word -&gt; english letter mapping.<p>I guess unfamiliar phonetics here played a major role in obfuscation.
