Cryptography Compliance and Standards Questions

Addresses regulatory and certification requirements that affect cryptographic design and deployment. Topics include the role of government and industry standards bodies, lists of approved and deprecated primitives, module certification regimes such as Federal Information Processing Standards 140 part two and part three, and industry compliance frameworks such as data protection and payment standards. Also includes designing systems to meet regulatory requirements without over engineering, documenting cryptographic decisions for auditors, managing validated cryptographic modules, secure key management practices required for compliance, and understanding when and why particular algorithms are disallowed by regulation.
