Named for
Auguste Kerckhoffs
, who wrote "La Cryptographie Militare" (
Military
Cryptography
) in 1883. Kerckhoffs' Principle can be paraphrased as "If your method of
encrypting
is
comprimised
, this should not keep you from continuing to use it." This means that you should not rely on the secrecy of your
algorithm
, but rather on the secrecy of your key. It is often used in reference to
security through obscurity
.
