Chapter 11: Implementing Cryptographic Protocols and Algorithms

Securing enterprise networks relies on a strategy called defense in depth. One very important part of defense in depth is protecting data in many different states, primarily at rest, in transit, and in use. When confidentiality is required, we can apply encryption to sensitive data to ensure we can protect that data. In some cases, we must be able to verify the integrity of the data using hashing and signing.

Cryptography can be a daunting subject area for IT professionals, with algorithms consisting of highly complex mathematical ciphers. The job of IT professionals and management is to ask the right questions and ensure the correct standards and protocols have been enabled. Regulatory authorities may have very strict requirements when using cryptographic ciphers to protect data that an enterprise will store, process, and transmit. It is the job of security professionals to ensure the correct configuration and deployment...
