All swans are white These birds are swans Therefore, these birds are white (necessarily) Evaluating (deductive) arguments? Evaluating a deductive argument requires answering two questions: 1. Does the conclusion follow from the premises? 2. Are the premises true? Validity To overcome the ambiguities of the commonsense notion of ‘following from’, we introduce the technical notion of validity. Question: 1. ‘Does the conclusion follow from the premises?’ can be rephrased as: 1. Is the argument valid?

In a valid argument, if the premises are all true, then the conclusion is necessarily true. Soundness An argument might be valid even when some or all its premises are false and/or its conclusion is false. No Human is mortal Aristotle is a human Therefore, Aristotle is not mortal.

These requirements still comprise the ideal which military ciphers aim at. They have been rephrased, and qualities that lie implicit have -been made explicit. But any modern cryptographer would be very happy if any cipher fulfilled all six. Of course, it has never been possible to do that. There appears to be a certain incompatibility among them that makes it impossible to institute all of them at once. The requirement that is usually sacrificed is the first. Kerckhoffs argued strongly against the notion of a field cipher that would
