Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. It consistently references Windows-specific cryptographic APIs (CNG, CAPI, Win32/64, .NET), Windows-only features (BitLocker, Group Policy, SSIS, SQL Server EKM, Always Encrypted), and Windows IoT Core. Examples and recommendations are almost exclusively for Windows environments, with only brief mentions of Apple and Java/Android APIs, and no Linux-specific tools, APIs, or examples. Linux cryptographic practices, tools (e.g., OpenSSL, GnuPG), and equivalents to Windows features are not discussed or referenced.
Recommendations:
- Add Linux-specific cryptographic API and tool recommendations (e.g., OpenSSL, /dev/urandom, GnuPG, dm-crypt/LUKS for disk encryption).
- Provide code examples for Linux environments (e.g., using OpenSSL CLI or libraries in C/Python).
- Reference Linux equivalents for Windows features (e.g., LUKS for BitLocker, systemd-cryptsetup for encrypted volumes, Linux TPM stack).
- Include guidance for cross-platform .NET Core/5+ cryptography APIs that work on Linux and macOS, not just Windows.
- Mention Linux/Unix device management and encryption policies where relevant (e.g., mobile device management, disk encryption).
- Balance the order of presentation so that Windows and Linux/Unix approaches are given equal prominence.
