La Cryptographie Militaire

Auguste Kerckhoffs — Published January 1883

This paper is the origin of Kerckhoffs’ Principle which states that the security of a cryptosystem must lie in the choice of its keys only; everything else (including the algorithm itself) should be considered public knowledge.

The corollary of Kerckhoffs’ Principle is that a developer should only use cryptosystems about which everything is known. This is a first principle for us at Evervault.
