SECTION 1: FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPTS & PRINCIPLES
(Questions 1-15)

Q1: What is Kerckhoffs's Principle and why is it fundamental to
modern cryptography?

Answer: A cryptosystem should remain secure even if everything about
the system, except the key, is public knowledge.

Rationale: Security should depend solely on the secrecy of the key, not
the secrecy of the algorithm . This principle allows for public scrutiny
and peer review of cryptographic algorithms, which strengthens them
over time. It is why we have publicly available standards like AES and
SHA-3.
