Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias in several areas. Many cryptographic recommendations and examples reference Windows-specific APIs, .NET classes, and technologies (e.g., CNG, CAPI, Win32/64, BitLocker, TPM on Windows IoT Core, SSIS, SQL Server features). Windows tools and patterns are mentioned first or exclusively, with limited or no Linux/macOS equivalents or examples. Where non-Windows platforms are referenced (e.g., Apple OS X, Java), coverage is brief and lacks parity in detail or example code. Linux-specific tools, APIs, or configuration patterns are generally missing.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux/macOS examples and recommendations for cryptographic operations (e.g., OpenSSL, /dev/urandom, GnuPG, dm-crypt/LUKS for disk encryption).
- Include Linux/macOS-specific APIs and code samples alongside .NET/Windows examples.
- Mention cross-platform libraries (e.g., libsodium, OpenSSL, BouncyCastle) where appropriate.
- For IoT, reference Linux-based TPM usage and device SDKs, not just Windows IoT Core.
- For database encryption, discuss options for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and other non-SQL Server databases.
- For device management and disk encryption, mention Linux/macOS solutions (e.g., FileVault, LUKS, eCryptfs) in addition to BitLocker.
