Summary
The documentation exhibits a notable Windows bias, with frequent references to Windows-specific cryptographic APIs (CNG, CAPI, Win32/64 functions), .NET classes, and features like BitLocker and TPM on Windows IoT Core. Examples and recommendations are centered on Windows technologies, with Linux and macOS alternatives rarely mentioned or relegated to secondary status. There are no Linux command-line or code examples, and critical sections (e.g., IoT device key storage, database encryption) focus exclusively on Microsoft/Windows solutions.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux and macOS cryptographic API references (e.g., OpenSSL, /dev/urandom, GnuPG, dm-crypt, LUKS, cryptsetup).
- Provide Linux/macOS code samples for key generation, encryption, and secure storage (e.g., using Python's cryptography library, OpenSSL CLI, or C/C++ APIs).
- Mention Linux alternatives to BitLocker (e.g., LUKS/dm-crypt) and TPM usage (e.g., tpm2-tools, Linux kernel TPM support).
- Ensure that generic recommendations are truly cross-platform, and avoid listing Windows APIs first unless they are the only supported option.
- Include references to cross-platform libraries and tools (e.g., OpenSSL, libsodium, PKCS#11).
