Heh. I once worked on a C++ project that included its own crypo code
(i.e. custom implementations of things like AES and SHA-1). The person
who wrote some particular bit of the code had decided that deliberately
obfuscating the function and variable names would somehow make it more
secure, so that's what he did.
The mind boggles. At so many levels.
