The Old Lafayette City Hall is a historic institutional building located at 217 West Main Street in Lafayette, Louisiana, United States. The building, constructed on a small parcel of land, is a typical two-story masonry Commercial building with some Rococo elements. The second floor facade has a balcony with a semi-circular brick arch above.

History

Designed by architect George Knapp of Lafayette, the building was erected in 1898 and originally hosted the Bank of Lafayette. On June 26, 1906, the building was sold to the "Corporation of the town of Lafayette" for $4,500. In 1908 a prison was added to the rear of the building. The building was used as the city hall until 1939, when a larger city hall was finally built. The ground floor was then used by local women's organizations and as a library. Until 1972 other institutional agencies were hosted in the building. In 1972 the building was declared unfit for occupancy.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 10, 1975.

  • Here are some interesting facts about code signing:

    1. **Digital signatures**: Code signing uses digital signatures to verify the identity of the software author and ensure that the code has not been tampered with during transmission or storage.

    2. **Cryptographic techniques**: Code signing uses cryptographic techniques like public-key cryptography, hash functions, and digital certificates to create a unique digital signature for each software package.

    3. **Trusted platforms**: Code signing ensures that software runs on trusted platforms only, by verifying the authenticity and integrity of the code using the stored digital signature.

    4. **Benefits**: Code signing provides several benefits, including peace of mind for users, preventing malware and viruses, ensuring software authenticity, and providing a secure environment for transactions.

    5. **Global standards**: Code signing standards are defined by international organizations like the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and are widely adopted across the globe.

    6. **PKCS**: The Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) is a widely-used standard for digital signatures, and is used for code signing, secure email, and identity verification among other applications.

    7. **Code signing ecosystems**: Many software ecosystems, such as Microsoft's Windows ecosystem, use code signing to ensure the authenticity and integrity of software applications.

    8. **Industry-wide adoption**: Code signing has become an industry-wide standard, with most software vendors and distributors adopting code signing to ensure the security and integrity of their software products.

    9. **Digital certificates**: Code signing relies on digital certificates issued by trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs) to verify the identity of the software author and ensure the authenticity of the code.

    10. **Continuous improvements**: Code signing processes and technologies are constantly evolving to keep pace with the ever-changing threat landscape, with new innovations and improvements being developed to enhance security and integrity.
