International Classification:

H04L 9/00
G06F 9/54

Abstract:

This disclosure relates generally to configuring an application or service with reconfigurable cryptographic features taking the form of cryptographic algorithms, protocols or functions. The application or service can be configured with a cryptographic provider configured to receive abstracted cryptographic API calls and retrieve specific cryptographic features based on established cryptographic policies. This configuration allows for rapid updates to the cryptographic framework and for the cryptographic framework to be managed remotely in enterprise environments.

International Classification:

H04L 9/08
H04L 9/06
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

The disclosure provides an approach for cryptographic agility. Embodiments include establishing, by a proxy component associated with a cryptographic agility system, a first secure connection with an application. Embodiments include receiving, by the proxy component, via the first secure connection, a communication from the application directed to an endpoint. Embodiments include selecting, by the cryptographic agility system, a cryptographic technique based on contextual information related to the communication. Embodiments include establishing, by the proxy component, a second secure connection with the endpoint based on the cryptographic technique. Embodiments include transmitting, by the proxy component, a secure communication to the endpoint via the second secure connection based on the communication.

International Classification:

H04L 9/32
H04L 9/08

Abstract:

The disclosure provides an approach for certificate management for cryptographic agility. Embodiments include receiving, by a cryptographic agility system, a cryptographic request related to an application. Embodiments include selecting, by the cryptographic agility system, a cryptographic technique based on contextual information associated with the cryptographic request. Embodiments include determining, by the cryptographic agility system, based on the cryptographic request, a certificate for authenticating a key related to the cryptographic technique. Embodiments include providing, by the cryptographic agility system, the certificate to an endpoint related to the cryptographic request for use in authenticating the key.
