Zero Trust Principle
What are the considerations when implementing Zero Trust cryptography?
- Securing cryptographic keys ensures that data is protected, and keys are not lost or compromised.
- Algorithm selection ensures selecting an algorithm as per its strength and suitability for the intended use case.
- Crypto agility refers to quickly switching to different cryptographic algorithms or protocols in response to emerging threats or vulnerabilities.
- Certificate management ensures communication authenticity and data security in transit.
- Hardware security modules is the most effective way of securely storing and managing cryptographic keys, making them less vulnerable to theft or compromise.
- Compliance with industry standards and regulations, such as FIPS, HIPAA, or PCI DSS, ensures cryptographic implementations meet the required security and privacy standards.
