Summary
The documentation shows a strong Windows bias, with Windows-specific technologies (CNG, CAPI, Win32/64, BitLocker, TPM on Windows IoT Core, SSIS, SQL Server features) mentioned exclusively or before alternatives. Code examples and recommendations focus on .NET and Windows APIs, with little to no mention of Linux equivalents (such as OpenSSL, dm-crypt, LUKS, Linux TPM tools, or Linux database encryption). Apple and Java are briefly mentioned for random number generation, but Linux is largely absent from cryptographic guidance and examples.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-specific cryptographic tool recommendations (e.g., OpenSSL, GnuPG, dm-crypt/LUKS for disk encryption, Linux TPM tools).
  • Provide code examples for Linux environments (e.g., Python/openssl for key generation, bash commands for random number generation, Linux database encryption features).
  • Mention Linux alternatives to Windows technologies (e.g., LUKS instead of BitLocker, OpenSSL instead of CNG/CAPI, Linux kernel crypto APIs).
  • Include references to cross-platform libraries (e.g., libsodium, OpenSSL, pycryptodome) and how to use them on Linux.
  • Ensure parity in IoT device security guidance by referencing Linux-based IoT OSes and their TPM support.
  • Balance .NET/.Windows API references with equivalent Linux/Unix APIs or libraries.
