Requires specific, validated cryptographic primitives, reducing use of risky or improperly implemented primitives.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly require use of approved, proven cryptographic implementations and forbid risky custom ones.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Mandates approved cryptographic controls, directly preventing use of risky or non-compliant implementations.
Security testing can detect use of weak or non-compliant cryptographic primitives before deployment.
Secure SDLC requires vetted crypto libraries and standards, reducing risky custom implementations.
Application security requirements can specify approved cryptographic standards and disallow risky primitives.
Secure architecture principles include selection of proven cryptographic components and avoidance of custom risky implementations.
Secure coding standards prohibit non-standard or disallowed cryptographic algorithms.
