Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Several examples and recommendations reference Windows-specific technologies (EFS, DPAPI, BitLocker, IIS/web.config, Intune), and Windows tools (CryptoObfuscator) are mentioned without Linux equivalents. In some cases, Windows approaches are described first or exclusively, while Linux alternatives (e.g., dm-crypt for disk encryption) are only briefly referenced or omitted. There is a lack of parity in examples and implementation details for Linux/macOS users, especially for file system encryption and configuration protection.
Recommendations
  • For file system encryption, mention and provide examples for Linux (e.g., using LUKS/dm-crypt, eCryptfs) and macOS (FileVault).
  • When referencing DPAPI or EFS, suggest cross-platform alternatives such as Gnome Keyring, libsecret, or platform-specific keychains.
  • Provide configuration protection examples for Linux web servers (e.g., Nginx/Apache) and application config files, not just IIS/web.config.
  • When recommending tools like CryptoObfuscator, mention cross-platform or open-source alternatives (e.g., Obfuscar for .NET Core, pyarmor for Python).
  • For mobile device management, include Android Enterprise and Apple MDM solutions alongside Intune.
  • Ensure code samples and configuration snippets are provided for both Windows and Linux/macOS environments where applicable.
