Security through obscurity

Security through Obscurity is a practice where companies obfuscate or hide the logic behind their product to supposedly enhance their security.

Relation to Consumer Rights

Sometimes, companies choose to withhold details about their products in the name of "security". In the process, consumer rights are often taken away, as consumers commonly do not have control over the product they bought and paid for after the security through obscurity is implemented. Moreover, since this practice only obfuscates or attempts to conceal, instead of actually implementing proper security, the workings of the device are often reverse-engineered in a short time.
