Kerckhoffs's principle
Kerckhoff’s Principle is a way of keeping secret messages safe. It’s like a special rule that helps people make sure that secret messages stay secret. With Kerckhoff’s Principle, only the people with the special secret code can decode the message and understand it.
Think about it like this... imagine you're playing a game of secret codes with your friends. You come up with a code word and write it on a piece of paper. Then you fold up the paper and give it to your friend. They decide to share the secret code with their other friends, who might not be in the game. Even if they tell them the code word, without the special code, the other people won’t be able to decode the message and understand it. Kerckhoff’s Principle works like that. It’s a way of keeping secret messages safe and secure.
