    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerckhoffs's_principle

    principle applies beyond codes and ciphers to security systems in general: every secret creates a potential failure point. Secrecy, in other words, is a prime cause of brittleness—and therefore something likely to make a system prone to catastrophic collapse. Conversely, openness provides ductility. [11]

  3. Catastrophic cancellation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catastrophic_cancellation

    Subtracting nearby numbers in floating-point arithmetic does not always cause catastrophic cancellation, or even any error—by the Sterbenz lemma, if the numbers are close enough the floating-point difference is exact. But cancellation may amplify errors in the inputs that arose from rounding in other floating-point arithmetic.

  4. Crypto-shredding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto-shredding

    Crypto-shredding or crypto erase (cryptographic erasure) is the practice of rendering encrypted data unusable by deliberately deleting or overwriting the encryption keys: assuming the key is not later recovered and the encryption is not broken, the data should become irrecoverable, effectively permanently deleted or "shredded". [1]

    If you no longer have your Security Key, use these steps: Go to the Sign-In Helper. Sign in and go to the AOL Account Security page. Turn off Security Key 2-Step Verification. When you get your Security Key back or get a new key, you can re-enable 2-Step Verification in your Account Security settings.

  6. Certificateless cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificateless_cryptography

    In contrast to the identity-based model (ID-PKC), it improves security by removing the requirement for key escrow. To develop this hybrid model, which lies between identity-based systems and conventional PKC with digital certificates , Al-Riyami and Paterson drew inspiration from Girault’s self-certified public key model (1991) and Boneh and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_Transparency

    Key Transparency allows communicating parties to verify public keys used in end-to-end encryption. [1] In many end-to-end encryption services, to initiate communication a user will reach out to a central server and request the public keys of the user with which they wish to communicate. [ 2 ]

  9. Failing badly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failing_badly

    A system that fails badly is one that has a catastrophic result when failure occurs. A single point of failure can thus bring down the whole system. Examples include: Databases (such as credit card databases) protected only by a password. Once this security is breached, all data can be accessed.
