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 6 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 →Encryption algorithms that follow industry standards are used to protect data, selected according to the data's classification and the risks attached to it.
cloud-security-alliance-cloud-controls-matrix-ccm-v4-1::CEK-04 · Encryption Algorithm →Rely on vetted modules or services for security components of applications, for example identity management, encryption, and audit logging.
CIS-16.11 · Leverage Vetted Modules or Services for Application Security Components →Build security functions in applications (identity, encryption, audit logging) on proven, vetted modules or services, relying on platform features to reduce developer effort and the chance of design or implementation mistakes.
