Minimalist Animated Padlock Icon Locking Unlocking

This animated visual features a clean, minimalist padlock icon smoothly transitioning from an open to a closed state, and then back to open. The yellow padlock with a bright blue shackle and keyhole is outlined with a subtle blue line, creating a clear and distinct visual. A gentle shadow adds a touch of depth without compromising the modern, flat-inspired aesthetic. The animation effectively symbolizes concepts of security, access control, privacy, and data protection. It is ideal for illustrating secure connections, login processes, data encryption, or any digital security-related content in presentations, web interfaces, or explanatory videos.
