Strong Cryptography definition
Strong Cryptography has the meaning given in Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) and Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) Glossary of Terms, Abbreviations, and Acronyms, Version 3.2 (as updated from time to time).
Strong Cryptography means cryptography based on industry-tested and accepted algorithms, along with strong key lengths (minimum 112-bits of effective key strength) and proper key-management practices. Cryptography is a method to protect data and includes both encryption (which is reversible) and hashing (which is not reversible, or “one way”).
Strong Cryptography means the use of cryptography based on industry-tested, accepted, and uncompromised algorithms and proper key management practices which incorporate a documented policy for the management of the encryption keys, and associated processes adequate to protect the confidentiality and privacy of the keys and credentials used as inputs to the cryptographic algorithm.
Examples of Strong Cryptography in a sentence
Strong Cryptography: Cryptography based on industry-tested and accepted algorithms, along with key lengths that provide a minimum of 112-bits of effective key strength and proper key-management practices.
Confidential Information cannot be stored electronically outside of Contractor’s network environment unless the storage device (e.g., backup tape, laptop, memory stick, computer disk, etc.) is protected by Strong Cryptography technology that is free from publicly available vulnerabilities (i.e., compliant with NIST requirements and recommendations).
More Definitions of Strong Cryptography
Strong Cryptography means cryptography based on industry-tested and accepted
Strong Cryptography means the use of cryptography based on industry-tested, accepted, and uncompromised algorithms with minimum key lengths of 128-bits for symmetric algorithms and 2048-bits for asymmetric algorithms, and proper key management practices which incorporate a documented policy for the management of the encryption keys, including the expiration of encryption keys at least once every two years, and associated processes adequate to protect the confidentiality and privacy of the keys and credentials used as inputs to the cryptographic algorithm.
Strong Cryptography means a cryptographic implementation and associated key management procedures compliant with, at minimum, NIST and PCI DSS requirements as applicable based upon the data type, sensitivity level, and communication mechanism of the data being encrypted, and is free from known and publicly available vulnerabilities.
Strong Cryptography means the use of cryptography based on industry-tested, accepted, and uncompromised algorithms with minimum key lengths of 128-bits for symmetric algorithms and 2048-bits for asymmetric algorithms, and proper key management practices which incorporate a documented policy for the management of the encryption keys, such as sensitive stored data and digital certificates used for Transport Layer Security (TLS), including the expiration of encryption keys and digital certificates at least once every two years, and associated processes adequate to protect the confidentiality and privacy of the keys and credentials used as inputs to the cryptographic algorithm; and
