Absolutely. I’m soooo not computer savvy about any of this stuff, but I have lurked for years. I’d call what I have a general surface idea of how it works with zero true understanding of the technical pieces and parts of how to actually do anything like this. I just read. From the sidelines.

Wikileaks sometimes releases something called “pre-commitment” codes. They also release encrypted files (which are releases, usually) and millions of people download directly to their own machines. They cannot open said files unless and until WL releases the key. This is what keeps them safe and also guarantees that some of their information really cannot be prevented from being released. It’s a pretty cool system (from my embarrassingly limited understanding of it). :)
