Whitfield Diffie (che nel 75 assieme a Martin Hellman ha inventato la crittografia a chiave pubblica) spiega su news.com spiega perchè non c'è sicurezza nella segretezza.
It isn't that secrets are never needed in security. It's that they are never desirable. This has long been understood in cryptography, where the principle of openness was articulated as far back as the 1870s (though it took over a century to come to fruition). On the other hand, the weakness of secrecy as a security measure was painfully evident in World War II, when the combatants were highly successful at keeping knowledge of their cryptosystems out of general circulation but far less successful at keeping them from their enemies.
Assolutamente niente di nuovo, ma l'articolo è semplice e ben scritto.
