I don't think that using the rug to cross the barbed wire fence should be considered a specific reference, as this is a common method of circumventing it and was used in WWI and II. It would be like saying that using boltcutters to get through a chainlink fence is a reference to Monsters Inc., it could be, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of evidence for it.

I'm not going to undo/redo [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=343:_1337:_Part_3&curid=4076&diff=340658&oldid=326812 this edit], but it is untrue to say that you don't encrypt with a public key. You can (and often do, depending upon session type/requirements) as part of a handshaking method, using a public key that only the owner's private key can decrypt, so that only the intended recipient with their private-decrypting key can make use of what has been encrypted. (Typically double-encrypted, with the other layer being your private-encryption, for which only your publicly available decryption is valid, so that both parties now know that... as long as they trust the other's public keys for being genuine... in this particular session they can ''only'' be sharing information with the other party.) But this, and further additions of complication resulting from additionally trusted third-parties/etc, is perhaps too complicated to add up there. So just mentioning it here.
