Mechanisms¶
- Digital Signature
- Publishing the verification key is safe precisely because security rests on the secrecy of the signing key, not on hiding how the check works — the open-verification half of the archetype leans directly on Kerckhoffs's principle.
This sourceExtract from Journal des sciences militaires. L. Baudoin (1883). Grounds the open-design principle that security should depend on a secret key rather than on hiding the verification method.

- Moving-Target Parameter Rotation
- Its failure mode is mistaking rotation for real defense — security through obscurity, where shuffling incidental details substitutes for a mechanism that would survive the adversary simply watching the rotation.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 3 citations: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
