Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias throughout. Windows-specific technologies (CNG, CAPI, Win32/64 APIs, BitLocker, TPM on Windows IoT Core, SSIS, SQL Server features) are mentioned exclusively or before alternatives. .NET examples and APIs are prioritized, with little to no mention of equivalent Linux cryptographic tools, APIs, or practices. Code examples and references focus on Windows environments, and there are no Linux or open-source tool examples for cryptographic operations, device security, or database encryption.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux examples for cryptographic operations (e.g., OpenSSL, GnuPG, /dev/urandom for RNG, dm-crypt/LUKS for disk encryption).
- Mention Linux-compatible hardware security modules (HSMs) and TPM usage, including references to Linux TPM libraries and provisioning guides.
- Include database encryption and signing examples for PostgreSQL, MySQL, or other cross-platform databases, not just SQL Server.
- Provide device security recommendations for Linux-based IoT devices, including secure key storage and management.
- Balance .NET and Windows API references with Java, Python, and C/C++ cross-platform libraries (e.g., BouncyCastle, PyCryptodome, libsodium).
- Reference Linux disk encryption tools (e.g., LUKS, eCryptfs) alongside BitLocker.
- Add code samples for Linux and open-source environments where only Windows/.NET samples are present.
