Summary
The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias. Windows technologies, APIs, and tools (CNG, CAPI, Win32/64, .NET, BitLocker, TPM on Windows IoT Core, SSIS, SQL Server features) are referenced extensively and often exclusively. Examples and recommendations are almost always Windows-centric, with little to no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. Where other platforms are mentioned (Apple, Java/Android), they are brief and lack parity in detail or example code. Linux cryptographic APIs, disk encryption tools, and IoT security approaches are missing.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific cryptographic API references (e.g., OpenSSL, /dev/urandom, libgcrypt, GnuTLS) alongside Windows APIs.
- Provide example code for Linux and cross-platform environments (e.g., Python with cryptography, C/C++ with OpenSSL) where only .NET or Windows code is shown.
- Mention Linux disk encryption tools (e.g., LUKS, dm-crypt) when discussing BitLocker.
- Include Linux IoT security approaches (e.g., TPM2.0 tools, secure key storage with Linux kernel modules) in IoT sections.
- Reference cross-platform database encryption options (e.g., PostgreSQL TDE, MySQL encryption) in addition to SQL Server.
- Ensure parity in recommendations and examples for random number generation, MAC/HMAC, and hash functions for Linux and open-source stacks.
- Explicitly state platform applicability for each recommendation, and avoid assuming Windows as the default.
