It's been a year or so since this was raised, perhaps there are some French reading cryptologers around now?
---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Financial Cryptography Update: HCI/security - start with Kerckhoff's 6 principles May 01, 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.financialcryptography.com/mt/archives/000454.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It seems that interest in the nexus at HCI (human computer interface) and security continues to grow. For my money I'd say we should start at Kerckhoff's 6 principles. http://www.financialcryptography.com/mt/archives/000195.html Now, unfortunately we have only the original paper in French, so we can only guess at how he derived his 6 principles: http://www.petitcolas.net/fabien/kerckhoffs/index.html Are there any French crypto readers out there who could have a go at translating this? Kerckhoff was a Dutchman, and perhaps this means we need to find Dutch cryptographers who can understand all his nuances... Nudge, nudge... (Ideally the way to start this, I suspect, is to open up a translation in a Wiki. Then, people can debate the various interpretations over an evolving document. Just a guess - but are there any infosec wikis out there?) -- Powered by Movable Type Version 2.64 http://www.movabletype.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- -- http://iang.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
