Group Note Draft: Cryptography usage in Web Standards
The Security Interest Group has published the first draft of a Group Note titled Cryptography usage in Web Standards. This document serves as a clear, practical, and standards-compliant guide for recognized cryptographic algorithms and their appropriate applications in various scenarios. It provides recommendations on the selection and implementation of specific algorithms, parameter configurations, and common mistakes to avoid, aiming to foster a uniform, standards-driven, and secure application of cryptography in web technologies.
The intended audience includes developers of web specifications and application creators, with the objective of encouraging interoperable, maintainable, and verifiable cryptographic practices in web standards and implementations.
