Introduction This lecture was given by Dr. David Mirza Ahmad one of chief mentors of Subgraph, which is a open-source security start-up based out in Montreal. The talk was based on Kerchoff’s principle which states “the security of any cryptographic system does not rest in its secrecy; it must be able to fall into the enemy’s hand without inconvenience” [1].

BBSs could only be accessed directly through dial-up modem, and did not support graphics at all.
