Privacy is intimacy is an artwork composed of two silver chains on each of which are engraved the halves of two PGP key pairs. On each chain is written a public key and the private key associated with the other chain’s public key. Thus, it is possible to establish a secure and encrypted connection between two people, allowing them to communicate without their privacy being compromised, making Privacy is intimacy the ultimate jewel for lovers !
