A method for securely transmitting deterrent data includes generating a deterrent having a predesigned number and configuration of glyphs having deterrent data therein, and transmitting a portion of the deterrent data from a subset of the glyphs without transmitting deterrent data from a remainder of the glyphs. The glyphs form a predetermined structure with a single solution. The method further includes receiving the portion of the deterrent data, placing the portion of the deterrent data into the subset of the glyphs, and solving the predetermined structure with the single solution, thereby determining the remainder of the glyphs to be infilled in the predetermined structure with deterrent data gleaned from the solution.
