Encryption Algorithm
What is Encryption Algorithm?
A mathematical procedure used to encrypt and decrypt data, providing the computational basis for protecting information confidentiality.
Frameworks that govern encryption algorithm
What the standards actually require on encryption algorithm
Requirements naming encryption algorithm across 4 standards, quoted from the control text.
Select encryption algorithms that suit the classification of the data, the risk it carries and the practical usability of the technology, rather than applying one algorithm everywhere.
CCM-CEK-04 · Encryption Algorithm →Leverage vetted modules or services for application security components, such as identity management, encryption, and auditing and logging.
CIS-16.11 · Leverage Vetted Modules or Services for Application Security Components →Use strong, current encryption algorithms for data in transit and at rest, with capability to update as standards evolve.
CPG-3.C · Strong and Agile Encryption →Security Dimensions 4 and 5 per X.805 Clauses 6.4 and 6.5 are closely related: (1) Data Confidentiality (Dim 4) protects data from unauthorized disclosure - ensures that the data content cannot be understood by unauthorized entities.
