3 Questions
According to Kerckhoffs' Principle, what should cryptographic algorithms be robust enough to withstand?
Being broken by the enemy
Who restated Kerckhoffs' Principle as 'the enemy knows the system'?
Claude Shannon
What is the opposite approach to 'security through obscurity'?
Robustness through simplicity
Test your knowledge of Kerckhoffs' Principle and its importance in cryptographic algorithms. Learn about the concept of "the enemy knows the system" and how it relates to the robustness of cryptographic algorithms. Can you understand why even with complete knowledge of the system, breaking it should still be difficult without the key? Take the quiz now!
