Talk:Key (cryptography)
Jump to navigation

I think we need something somewhere that discusses the general notion that systems which require something large, rather than just a small key, to be kept secret are a bad idea. This applies to one-time pads and to codes needing a codebook, and is one way to think about Kerckhoffs'_Principle; there may be applications I have not thought of.
Should that text go in Cryptography? Or here? Or where? Sandy Harris 03:57, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
- I added it at Cryptography#Principles_and_terms. That seemed the right place, since it is a general principle. Sandy Harris 09:45, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
