Kerckhoff's Principle
Labels:
Information Security
Kerckhoff's Principle states that, for an attacker the inner-workings of the cryptosystem should be known completely. The only thing secret will be the key.
That is the algorithm used for creating the cryptosystem should not be secret. Experience shows that secret algorithms are weak when exposed. (secret things never remain secret...!)
